“I would have been equally angry,” said U.K. High Commissioner Alex Ellis, speaking about the violence at the Indian High Commission in March this year by pro-Khalistan groups who took down the tricolour and caused a rift in ties between India and the United Kingdom.
In his first public remarks since the incident, Mr. Ellis — who was addressing a think-tank event about the U.K.’s Strategic “Integrated Review Refresh” — said that relations between India and the U.K. were “absolutely central” to the U.K.’s plans for the Indo-Pacific and its future foreign policy. The two countries are “capable of dealing with disagreements”, as over the issue of extremism, he added.
