Former British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak praised India's "energy and ambition" and called the India-UK partnership "hugely promising" after attending the NDTV World Summit 2025 in New Delhi. He reconnected with Prime Minister Narendra Modi, discussing AI, infrastructure, global growth, and economic resilience. Sunak stated the old global order post-Berlin Wall "no longer exists" and won't return. He emphasized the coming decade will be defined by "multipolarity and domestic capabilities," citing India as a prime example. Sunak highlighted Covid-19 as a geopolitical event exposing supply chain fragility. He noted China's non-traditional trade approach forced democracies to reconsider norms, addressing security and intellectual property concerns. Sunak served as UK's first Indian-origin PM from October 2022 to July 2024.
