The UK media has paid tribute to Dr. Manmohan Singh, India's former Prime Minister, revered as the 'reluctant prime minister' and 'architect of economic reforms'. Singh, who passed away at 92 in New Delhi, is celebrated for reshaping India's economy and elevating its position on the global stage.

British High Commissioner Lindy Cameron praised Singh as a great Prime Minister and global statesman who forged indispensable partnerships with three UK Prime Ministers.
