The bilateral meeting on Monday between Prime Minister Narendra Modi and his U.K. counterpart Theresa May focused on greater cooperation to counter illegal activities and terrorism. “Our two countries understand the increasingly transnational challenge of terrorism which demands multilateral as well as bilateral cooperation,” said a joint statement issued at the end of bilateral discussion.
India and Britain also agreed to hold annual strategic dialogue at the level of Union Home Secretary to jointly deal with issues like terrorism, organised crimes, visa and immigration matters.
The security and extradition-related issues came up for discussion during the summit-level meeting in Hyderabad House, where both the delegations signed two MoUs on ease of doing business and intellectual property related issue. However, a major difference remained unresolved as Ms May refused to commit to increasing visas for Indian professionals unconditionally.
