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.
