Tony Blair described the summit as a significant turning point in the relations between the European Union and India. Speaking after talks with the Indian Prime Minister, Manmohan Singh, Mr Blair said that Europe must have a relationship of equals with India for mutual benefit .
Just a decade or so ago at a summit like this, Indian leaders would have been asking Europe for a helping hand. But now India is emerging as an economic force with the fastest growth of any democratic nation. The new buying power was underlined by India's announcement to coincide with the talks that it will buy forty three Airbus planes made in Europe. The deal will be worth two-point-two billion dollars.
The two prime ministers also agreed to increase cooperation to tackle global warming and terrorism. Mr Blair said there would be better coordination between police forces in Europe and India to stop terrorist groups crossing borders and to prevent money laundering.
