Haryana Chief Minister Bhupinder Singh Hooda on Thursday said that both Haryana and UK can and must synergise their mutual strengths to create a win-win situation for both sides as Haryana’s buoyant economy, relatively younger work force and large market can combine well with UK’s technological and skill prowess and financial resources.
Speaking at the launch of first UK India Business Centre of the UK India Business Council (UKIBC) in Gurgaon, Hooda said some mutual initiatives in the area of skill development are already under process. Tie-up with some of the leading UK universities in education sector offers another potential area.
“I envision a greater collaborative effort between the UK India Business Council and State agencies, particularly Haryana State Industrial and Investment Development Corporation (HSIIDC), in furthering UK investments into Haryana”, added Hooda.
He said UK India Business Council, which was a lead organisation in promoting bilateral trade and investment between the two countries, has played a key role in creating and sustaining an environment in which free-trade and investment flourishes. Hooda said here are immense opportunities for trade and long-term alliances in India, especially in the State of Haryana.
