"UK-India higher education cooperation is a central pillar of relations between our two countries in the 21st century. Our concrete collaborations with Queen Mary University of London will open new vistas in joint programming and research in the humanities and social sciences within the Commonwealth context and offer a new model for globalisation of higher education," Kumar said in a statement issued by the varsity.
While signing the agreement, Professor Gaskell said, "There are of course long standing historical ties between our two nations and this partnership will see us both playing our parts in strengthening and developing these ties in a fast changing global environment.
