The British government opened up a new office for the Department for International Trade (DIT) in Chennai today, as it looks to expand links across the region.
British Deputy High Commissioner in Chennai, Bharat Joshi, opened the new centre and said that the UK's “ties with India have never been stronger”.
“Our new Prime Minister’s visit next month to open the India-UK TECH Summit with Prime Minister Modi is another milestone in this key relationship and reflects India’s importance as a strategic partner,” he added.
UK Prime Minister Theresa May's visit to India will be her first outside of Europe since she took up office.

Sri Lanka is one of the most dangerous places in the world to be a journalist. Tamil journalists are particularly at threat, with at least 41 media workers known to have been killed by the Sri Lankan state or its paramilitaries during and after the armed conflict.
Despite the risks, our team on the ground remain committed to providing detailed and accurate reporting of developments in the Tamil homeland, across the island and around the world, as well as providing expert analysis and insight from the Tamil point of view
