The global economy is undergoing historic transformations as economic and political power continues shifting towards Asia. With a rising share of the world’s total GDP, the UK needs to ensure it achieves greater strategic access into Asia’s biggest markets, notably into India. The importance of this preferential access cannot be overstated: as India is the [...]

                The Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s visit to the UK between April 17 and 20 was billed as an “unprecedented” affair within diplomatic circles. Modi went on to hold not just one but two meetings with his British counterpart, Theresa May, before they went into the formal deliberations as part of the multilateral Commonwealth Heads of Government Meeting (CHOGM). The Indian PM, who arrived in the UK from Sweden after the first-ever India-Nordic Summit, was among only a handful of [...]

                    Fuelled by China’s seemingly infinite thirst for resources, Africa’s economy grew at a robust pace last decade. With China slowing down, Africa needs a new partner. Will the Commonwealth fill that gap?
