New Delhi, Nov 7 (IBNS): Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Monday said science, technology and innovation are immense growth forces and will play a very significant role in building the relationship between India and the UK.

" I firmly believe that Science, Technology and Innovation are immense growth forces and will play a very significant role in our relationship. The Tech Summit aims at strengthening our strategic partnership for mutual gains based on our shared technological prowess and scientific knowledge," Modi said while addressing at the India-UK Tech Summit which was attended by US PM Theresa May.

He said: "There is an opportunity for India and UK to collaborate in the ‘Digital India’ Program and expand information convergence and people centric e-governance."

Modi said he expects to see the 'Make in India’ to be a key sector of bilateral engagement between the two nations.

"Advanced manufacturing is a special endeavor under this program. UK as a leading player can benefit from our liberal FDI policies in defense manufacturing, aerospace and electronics engineering," Modi said.

He said :" Together, we can create a vibrant and thriving environment for new commercial applications with breakthrough technologies."

Theresa May si currently visiting India.
