PA Library photo dated 4/1/2002 British Prime Minister Tony Blair. : Prime Minister Tony Blair will today, Saturday 5th January 2002 claim a "pivotal role for Britain in world affairs after the September 11 atrocities". The United Kingdom may no longer have an empire, nor be a superpower in its own right, but it can still use its historic links and new strengths to play a leading role, Mr Blair will tell the Chamber of Indian Industry in a keynote speech to the organisation's annual conference in Bangalore, southern India. Mr Blair will say he is proud of the role Britain has played since September 11, both diplomatically, in building the alliance against international terrorism, and on the humanitarian front through the provision of aid to Afghanistan.
