British high commissioner meets Raj minister over enhancing trade ties

The British high commission today explored the possibilities of enhancing business ties between his country and Rajasthan.

In a meeting with Industries Minister Rajpal Singh Shekhawat, British Deputy High Commissioner Geoff Wain expressed his wish to enhance the trade ties and said that the high commission would play a role of bridge between British companies willing to invest and the state government.

A detailed discussion on possibilities of investment in areas like food processing, petrochemical, polyester yarn, textile, technology transfer, handicrafts and jewellery among others was held in the meeting here, according to a state government release.

Wain informed that a team of trade experts would visit the state next month with some concrete proposals for investment.

Shekhawat said the state has emerged as a preferred destination for investment where international companies like JCB and others are working.
