British Prime Minister Gordon Brown is urging India to enhance collaboration in the fight against terrorism during his visit to New Delhi. He is advocating for India's participation in the Financial Action Task Force, an international organization that targets terrorist financing, and is also offering assistance in obtaining advanced screening technology for detecting weapons and explosives at ports and airports. Brown emphasized the importance of major countries like India, China, and Pakistan working together to combat terrorism and disrupt terrorist networks. He believes that India's involvement in the Financial Action Task Force would strengthen global efforts to combat terrorist financing. He also advocated for a campaign to win over people's hearts and minds in order to counteract "extremist ideologies". Brown recently visited China to focus on increasing trade and investment and collaborating on addressing climate change. During his visit to India, Brown plans to engage in discussions with Prime Minister Manmohan Singh, meet with business leaders, and deliver a speech on the importance of reforming international institutions. Brown brought with him promises of substantial development aid to combat poverty in India, where a significant portion of the population lives on less than $1 a day despite the country's rapid economic advancement. Britain announced that it will provide India with 825 million pounds ($1.6 billion) in development aid over the next three years, with a majority of the funds allocated towards improving health and education. The British government announced that the funds will go towards hiring 300,000 additional teachers and allowing four million more children to attend school by 2011. This demonstrates the deepening economic relationship between Britain and India, as evidenced by Tata Steel Ltd's acquisition of Corus and Ford Motor Co's consideration of Tata Motors Ltd as a potential buyer for Jaguar and Land Rover. Prime Minister Brown is also expected to address trade issues and propose an international early warning system to prevent another financial crisis like the U.S. subprime lending collapse that has had global repercussions, including the collapse of Northern Rock in Britain. Brown has called for renewed efforts to reach a global trade agreement. Negotiations for a new trade agreement aimed at increasing trade liberalization have advanced slowly over the years.
