Rosie Glazebrook, Chief Executive of the Commonwealth Enterprise and Investment Council was pleased to attend the relaunch of the CII UK India Business Forum following a hiatus that began shortly after the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic.

The forum is to act as a vital networking and knowledge-sharing platform for enhancing the Indian economic footprint in the UK. The platform is actively addressing the prevalent challenges faced by Indian businesses operating within the UK. Its significance is further amplified by the ongoing negotiations for a Free Trade Agreement (FTA) between India and the UK, especially amidst the increasing levels of bilateral trade and investment.

Mr Chandrajit Banerjee, Director General, CII stated, “The UK IBF is an exclusive group of corporate members, primarily Indian companies with existing or planned operations in the United Kingdom. With IBF 2.0, the platform provides an opportunity to raise shared concerns about policy and markets with relevant stakeholders. The CII UK IBF has undertaken some important initiatives in the past and some of its recommendations have been positively viewed by the UK Government.”
