India: British High Commissioner in Delhi meeting the CM of
Gujarat
I have asked the British High Commissioner in New Delhi to visit
Gujarat and to meet the Chief Minister and other senior figures in
the state. This will allow us to discuss a wide range of issues of
mutual interest and to explore opportunities for closer
cooperation, in line with the British Government’s stated objective
of improving bilateral relations with India.
The UK has a broad range of interests in Gujarat. We want to secure
justice for the families of the British nationals who were killed
in 2002. We want to support human rights and good governance in the
state. We also want to provide the best possible support for
British nationals who live in, work in or visit Gujarat; and to the
many Gujaratis who now make up one of the most successful and
dynamic communities in the UK. As part of this government’s
commitment to strengthen relations with India, we have an interest
in ensuring that we provide a full and consistent range of services
across the whole country.
I feel that active engagement will help further these
interests. We will consider in the light of the High
Commissioner’s visit how best to take forward our relationship with
Gujarat.
