During his bilateral visit in New Delhi with External Affairs Minister (EAM) Dr S Jaishankar, Raab had said: "The UK and India have an invaluable and indispensable partnership, and we look forward to strengthening it in the years ahead. Together we can deliver an Enhanced Trade Partnership next year, combine our cyber security expertise to protect our citizens and join forces to protect global health and promote things like vaccine production."

He had also asserted the UK's ambition of a strengthened UK-India relationship over the next 10 years during his visit.
