India's true growth potential can be realised in partnership with its diaspora, Commerce and Industry Minister Suresh Prabhu and Minister of State for Home Kiren Rijiju said today as they concluded their visit to the UK. The two senior Indian ministers addressed members of the diaspora from the UK at a special event organised by the Indian High Commission in London.<br/><br/>Stressing that he was keen to focus on the entry of new ideas rather than Britain's exit from the European Union, Mr Prabhu said that his tour of the UK had proved successful in setting a positive post-Brexit agenda.<br/><br/>Mr Rijiju highlighted steps taken to assist the diaspora worldwide, such as merging the persons of Indian origin (PIO) card with Overseas Citizen of India (OCI) document and expansion of the e-visa scheme to 160 countries. Both ministers were on a UK visit to hold bilateral dialogues with their counterparts.<br/><br/>
