UK Foreign Secretary Yvette Cooper has concluded her visit to India and China, emphasizing the UK's need for active engagement on the global stage. In her statement, she argued against using 'cancel culture' in foreign policy, advocating for constructive dialogue with key global players to advance UK interests. During her discussions in New Delhi, Cooper addressed critical issues such as maritime security and supply chain resilience. She co-launched the Regional Maritime Security Centre of Excellence to enhance cooperation with India, particularly regarding the Strait of Hormuz. Additionally, she launched the Critical Minerals Global Supply Chain Observatory, aimed at improving the UK's supply chain for essential minerals, which are vital for industries like electric vehicles and technology. This initiative includes a partnership with India, which will contribute funding to establish a satellite observatory at the Indian Institute of Technology in Dhanbad, in collaboration with the University of Cambridge. Cooper's visit underscores the UK's commitment to fostering strong international partnerships to ensure economic growth and security.
