"He added, "This relationship is about so much more than trade and whisky. At a time when the world is full of promise but also threats, the UK-India relationship is about the safety, security and freedom that make that trade possible.

"He concluded the UK was "working ever more closely" with India to ensure peace and security, which are the indispensable foundations of trade and prosperity.
