"My government looks forward to an enhanced partnership with India and China," the monarch said.
Queen Elizabeth II singled out India alongside China for an "enhanced partnership" as part of the foreign policy priorities for UK's first Conservative-only government in nearly two decades.
"My government looks forward to an enhanced partnership with India and China," the monarch said during the ceremonial Queen's Speech which lays out the business for a newly-elected British Parliament.
However, it was China that seems to take precedence this year with a state visit planned in October.
"Prince Philip and I look forward to our state visit to Germany next month and to our state visit to Malta in November, alongside the Commonwealth Heads of Government Meeting," the 89-year-old Queen said as she spoke from her throne in the House of Lords.
"We also look forward to welcoming His Excellency the President of The People's Republic of China (Xi Jinping) and Madame Peng on a state visit in October," the Queen said as she spoke from her throne in the House of Lords.
The speech marked the state opening of Parliament on Wednesday.
Some of the other key foreign policy announcements covered war zones like Syria.
The Queen said: "My government will continue to play a leading role in global affairs, using its presence all over the world to re-engage with and tackle the major international security, economic and humanitarian challenges.
"My ministers will remain at the forefront of the NATO alliance and of international efforts to degrade and ultimately defeat terrorism in the Middle East.
She said the UK will continue to seek a political settlement in Syria and will offer further support to the Iraqi government's programme for political reform and national reconciliation.
Prime Minister David Cameron and his newly-elected MPs then went on to debate the speech in the House of Commons as the official business of government kicks off following the May 7 general election.
