La France et l’Angleterre n’ont pas du tout les mêmes rapports vis à vis de leurs anciennes colonies. Reportage de la BBC :

UK to end aid support to India by 2015

 
The UK is to stop giving aid to India by 2015, the international development secretary has announced.

Support will be gradually cut by about £200m ($319m) between 2013 and 2015 before being wound up completely.

Minister Justine Greening said the move reflected India’s economic progress and status as a global force.
Continuing aid to India, one of the world’s fastest-growing economies, has been controversial for some time – particularly among Conservative MPs.

Ministers have defended it in the past on the basis of the extreme poverty persisting in rural areas and historic colonial ties between the two countries.

Ms Greening has been conducting a review of all aid budgets since taking over the role in September and visited India earlier in the week to discuss existing aid arrangements.
