CF India were pleased to welcome Greg Barker MP as guest speaker to an event held at Conservative Campaign Headquarters, the session being chaired by CF India Co-Chairman Shailesh Vara MP.
As well as being Minister of State at the Department of Climate Change, Greg has also been appointed by the Prime Minister to be the Minister in charge of improving trade and investment between the UK and India.
Greg spoke to CF India members about his work and gave a summary of the importance of the trade delegation taken to India by the PM back in February this year. He reiterated the vital importance of trade between the UK and India for the future prosperity of both countries, focussing on the need to boost trade opportunities for Small and Medium Sized Enterprises.
In the Q&A session that followed CF India members were able to ask several questions about improving trade with different Indian States, doing more to bring inward investment into the UK and generally building on the work done by the recent trade delegation.
We hope to hold similar speaker events in future and details will be emailed out to members in advance.
