New Delhi: Britain
will set up two new deputy high commissions in India -- in
Hyderabad and Chandigarh -- to deepen its ties with the country,
British High Commissioner James Bevan said here Wednesday.
"These new offices will focus, like much of the rest of our
network in India, on boosting trade and investment between the
United Kingdom and India. That will help secure greater prosperity
for all our citizens," said Bevan in a statement.
"This expansion of our diplomatic network is a reflection of
India's rapid and successful growth and the UK's commitment to
deepening our relationship with India," he said.
Britain currently has deputy high commissions in Mumbai, Kolkata,
Chennai and Bangalore.
With the two new offices, Britain will have the most extensive
diplomatic network of any country in India, said the statement.
