Conference co-organiser Professor Leïla Choukroune said: ‘While India is celebrating 70 years of independence, Brexit puts the UK-India partnership for ‘shared values and global capability’ to a new fundamental test.

‘With government, business and civil society representatives attending, we are reaching out to a large audience and contributing to public debate, on-going trade negotiations and future treaties between India and the UK.’

The conference is jointly organised by the University of Portsmouth and the Institute of South Asian Studies (ISAS) of the National University of Singapore (NUS).
