"On every occasion, the opportunity to strengthen an old partnership. PM Narendra Modi and PM David Cameron meet," External Affairs Ministry Spokesperson Vikas Swarup tweeted along with a picture of the two leaders meeting on the sidelines of the Nuclear Security Summit here.
"Enhancing a vibrant partnership...PM Narendra Modi & PM David Cameron talk India-UK ties," a PMO tweet said.
Their meeting comes in the backdrop of a crisis in Britain's steel industry after Tata Steel announced that it has decided to "explore all options for portfolio restructuring including the potential divestment of Tata Steel UK, in whole or in parts".
During that visit, India and the UK had signed deals worth 9-billion pounds and inked a civil nuclear pact besides deciding to collaborate in defence and cyber security.
