British parliamentary team to visit Kolkata
| Terrorism, trade to be discussed |
London: Leading NRI industrialist Lord Swraj Paul will head a high-level British Parliamentary delegation to West Bengal next month to discuss issues such as terrorism and ways and means of enhancing the India-U.K. trade.
“The team will be in Kolkata between April 5 and 12 at the invitation of the West Bengal Assembly,” said Lord Paul, also British Ambassador for Overseas Business, on Sunday.
The delegation would meet members of the FICCI and visit Shantiniketan, where Nobel laureate Rabindranath Tagore founded Visva-Bharati, an international university, where the cultures of the East and the West mingled.
A detailed programme was still being finalised by West Bengal Assembly and the Commonwealth Parliamentary Association, London, he said. — PTI
