Mutual respect is a 2-way street. Perhaps addressing bilateral trade relations as "begging" needs to be looked at?It is investing from both sides. Trade relations are important. We do not look down on India and I trust that also India do not look down on us. We can have a fight of words in this forum, but in real life the relations between our countries is based on mutual respect.
With India being Finland's 4th largest trade partner in Asia, the mindset that Indian officials visit Finland to "beg" needs to be looked at?
Perhaps, choosing words wisely on a forum or otherwise needs to be looked at?
And finally, the " we give you aid" mentality is what Brits like to bring up to relieve their former glory days ever since the "Raj" is on decline as there is not much to show for now.
