British PM to visit India

British Prime Minister David Cameron will be in India on a day-long visit, his third in two years, on his way to Colombo to attend the Commonwealth Heads of Government Meeting (CHOGM) on November 15-16.

Cameron will hold talks with Singh on number of crucial bilateral, regional and international issues.

Both the leaders are likely to deliberate on boosting cooperation in trade and investment besides enhancing ties in areas of mutual interest.

During his visit to India in February, both India and the UK had decided to start negotiations on a civil nuclear pact to facilitate entry of British companies into emerging Indian atomic power sector besides agreeing to explore ways to enhance cooperation in diverse sectors.

After holding talks with Singh, he will leave for Kolkata where he will meet West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee.
