Noting that the relationship between the two nations is "highly constructive", British High Commissioner Dominic Asquith today said his country is looking forward to start new ventures in banking, textile and garments and other sectors with India.
"UK and India are strategic partners and UK is a major trading for India. The relationship between the two countries is highly constructive and substantially economic," Asquith, who called on Governor K Rosaiah here, was quoted as saying in a Raj Bhavan release.
"Britain looks forward to start new ventures in the field of banking, textiles and garments, leather, IT, education and allied areas," he said.
