Sunak emphasised the importance of the Indo-Pacific region to global security and prosperity. He also confirmed that a new bespoke, reciprocal route would open in early 2023 to give young professionals from the UK and India a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to take part in a professional and cultural exchange. India is the first visa-national country to benefit from such a scheme, highlighting the strength of the UK-India Migration and Mobility Partnership agreed upon last year.
