Mr Sunak said the relationship between the UK and India will define the future of the two countries, even more than it is defining the present.
India's diversity and its extraordinary successes mean it is the "right country" at the "right time" to hold the G20 presidency, British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak said on Wednesday, as he hailed Narendra Modi's leadership over the last year, noting that India's presidency of the bloc came when the world is facing innumerable challenges.
In an interview with PTI just days ahead of the G20 summit here on September 9-10, Mr Sunak, the first Indian-origin prime minister of Britain, said the relationship between the UK and India will define the future of the two countries, even more than it is defining the present.
"This country's scale, diversity and extraordinary successes mean India is the right country at the right time to hold the G20 Presidency. I pay tribute to Prime Minister Modi's leadership over the last year and it's wonderful to see India showing such global leadership," he said.
