AHMEDABAD: After the thaw, relations between the UK and Narendra Modi's Gujarat are all set to get warmer. One of UK's biggest industry associations, led by UK member of Parliament Ian Swales, will visit the state next month. Later in April, a delegation of British MPs is likely to visit Gujarat.
Swales is bringing a 20-member delegation of the North East of England Process Industry Cluster (NEPIC), which will visit Vapi and Dahej on March 4 and 5. They will explore trade and investment opportunities with companies here to source active pharmaceutical ingredients, besides specialty chemicals from the state.
The NEPIC cluster represents 560 industrial units. It accounts for 60% of UK's petrochemicals output, and around 35% of the pharmaceutical production. Goods worth 11 billion pounds are exported from the cluster annually.
After cold-shouldering Modi for more than a decade over the 2002 post-Godhra riots, the UK government has only recently started engaging with the chief minister at the diplomatic level. The UK India Business Council had even partnered the Vibrant Gujarat investor summit in January with the British high commissioner to India, James Bevan, attending the event.
