 "Open to meeting all elected leaders including Modi: David Cameron")
British Prime Minister David Cameron, who is on a one-day visit to India, on Thursday said he was open to meeting all elected leaders including BJP prime ministerial candidate Narendra Modi.
"I am open to meeting elected leaders anyway," Cameron said on being asked if he would meet Gujarat Chief.
"We have started some relations with Gujarat already. The connection and engagement is there. I'm open to meeting all elected leaders including Narendra Modi," he added.
Cameron will hold talks with Prime Minister Manmohan Singh on a number of bilateral, regional and international issues.
The two leaders are likely to deliberate on boosting cooperation in trade and investment besides enhancing ties in areas of mutual interest.
After holding talks with Dr Singh, Cameron will leave for Kolkata where he will meet West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee. He will also visit the Indian Institute of Management and All India Radio in Kolkata.
Cameron will later fly to Colombo to attend the Commonwealth Heads of Government Meeting on November 15-16.
