Top British ministers were due this week to meet India’s Narendra Modi to pursue deeper trade ties, the latest Western government to court the prime minister since his election in May.
Foreign Secretary William Hague and Finance Minister George Osborne were set to arrive in Mumbai on Monday on a two-day visit for talks with their counterparts, a foreign ministry spokesman said on Sunday.
The pair will also meet with reform-minded Modi, who has raised hopes for foreign investors with his pledges to open up the stumbling economy and spur investment.
