MUMBAI : RMI.IN  : MVIRDC World Trade Center Mumbai and the All India Association of Industries (AIAI) have warmly welcomed the appointment of Hon. Andy Burnham as the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom, expressing confidence that his leadership will usher in a new era of economic renewal, inclusive growth and stronger international partnerships.

Dr. Vijay Kalantri, Chairman, Chairman, World Trade Center Mumbai and President, All India Association of Industries, congratulated Hon. Andy Burnham on assuming office as the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom and said, “We warmly welcome Prime Minister Andy Burnham and wish him every success in leading the United Kingdom. His vision of restoring political stability, devolving power to local communities, re-industrialising Britain and introducing a long-term 10-year national plan demonstrates a strong commitment to inclusive economic growth, regional development and renewed investor confidence. These priorities have the potential to strengthen the UK’s competitiveness and create new opportunities for businesses, industries and international partnerships.”

“We hope there will be further strengthening of the India–UK economic partnership. The implementation of the India–UK Comprehensive Economic and Trade Agreement (CETA) presents a historic opportunity to expand bilateral trade, investment, manufacturing, services, technology and MSME collaboration. With bilateral trade currently valued at around USD 56 billion, both countries should strive to double this in the coming years through deeper business engagement, greater market access, innovation partnerships and resilient supply chains. We are confident that the new leadership will further reinforce the longstanding strategic and economic ties between India and the United Kingdom.” added, Dr. Kalantri.
