I think in this area the UK and India are very natural partners. If you look at the importance of culture and creativity in India it is clear that it is essential to the Indian personality and identity. If you look at the UK in terms of our engagement with Literature, Theatre cinema and the Arts over centuries again we have too a very long history of innovation and creativity. So what I hope is that this exercise ….. will …. light a new flame in the cultural and creative partnership between our two countries.
