lpv:translated text	"Mr President, I should like to start by thanking our rapporteur, Mr Menéndez del Valle, for the very important work he has done in his report, and I should also like to thank the Dutch Presidency, Mr Nicolaï, and Commission Verheugen for their statements. The further development of relations between the European Union and India will be of crucial importance to world peace, stability, security and development. India is a huge democratic country in the region with a history and cultural past. At the same time, however, it is a country of the future, which is building consistent and stable bases for its economic, social, scientific and technological development. The European Union and the Member States have every interest in developing a new strategic alliance, a new strategic partnership with India, and this relationship will contribute to the democratisation of the international system, to the necessary global and regional balances, to the creation of a multipolar world, to the defence of peace, democracy and human rights, to the reform of the UN system and to the strengthening of its role in legitimising the peaceful resolution of conflicts. India has a long tradition of independent and non-aligned foreign policy and of participation in UN international peacekeeping missions, such as in Cyprus, for example. The European Union must take full advantage of this tradition. I should like to finish by agreeing with what Commissioner Verheugen said; that we must, and that it is a major priority for the European Union to develop relations with India in particular in the areas of research, technology and the information society, where India has truly made tremendous progress, as confirmed by the thousands of Indians working in software and IT companies in Europe. That is why the European Union must promote educational exchange and research institute programmes and immediately implement the scholarship programmes."@en1
