In her speech, Ms. Alison Barrett MBE, Director, British Council India, said, “I am delighted that you are all here and debating on important issues like sustainable development, climate change and artificial intelligence. These are critical issues that we take seriously around the world. There are various ways in which India and the UK can work together to create local solutions to these global issues. Last week, I was at the Conqueror Book Fair with some of the amazing writers and speakers from the UK, including Roma Agawam, one of the original designers and structural engineers of The Shard, the tallest building in the UK. I met Dr Robert Potts also, who is an expert in AI. It was a great experience to hear them talk about the importance of collaboration between universities, young people, generations, and people from different generations, as collaboration is the most crucial thing to make a difference in the world."
