Truss noted during the opening remarks of the discussions that it was crucial to preserve the concepts of sovereignty, territorial integrity, and international law.
“Deeper ties between Britain and India will boost security in the Indo-Pacific and globally, and create jobs and opportunities in both countries,” Truss is quoted as saying in the statement.
“This matters even more in the context of Russia’s unprovoked invasion of Ukraine and underlines the need for free democracies to work closer together in areas like defence, trade and cyber security,” she said.
During the India-UK virtual summit between Prime Minister Narendra Modi and his British counterpart Boris Johnson in May of last year, the bilateral relationship was upgraded to a Comprehensive Strategic Partnership.
