London: Terming relations with India as a 'huge foreign policy priority', Prime Minister David Cameron has said that Britain was not doing enough to tap the trade and commercial opportunities that existed in countries such as India, Brazil and Russia. Delivering his foreign policy speech at the Lord Mayor's banquet at The Guildhall last night, Cameron countered recent claims that Britain was on an 'inevitable path of decline', saying the country remained a 'great economic power'. Mentioning relations with India, he said Britain traded more with the Netherlands that with Brazil, Russia, India, China and Turkey combined. He said: "But this statistic just shows we are not making nearly enough of the opportunities out there. That's why one of the first visits I made as Prime Minister was to India. It's the second fastest growing major economy in the world".
