British Asian to be PM one day, says David Cameron

UK Prime Minister David Cameron has exuded confidence that a British Asian would take on his role in the near future.

"One day, I want to hear that title prime minister followed by a British Asian name," he said in his speech at the annual GG2 Leadership Awards in London last night.

"Just not immediately, if that's okay," he added on a lighter note in reference to the upcoming general election in Britain in May 2015. "What makes Britain a success is that every community has a hand in it...but frankly it is still not enough. In Britain today there are still too few people from ethnic minorities in top positions," he said.
