Mr. Shore

I visited New Delhi and Calcutta at the invitation of the Government of India from 4th to 9th January 1976. I met the Prime Minister and other Indian Ministers, as well as a large number of Indian and British businessmen. I signed an exchange of letters with the Indian Minister of Commerce establishing an Indo-British Economic Committee to promote the further development of economic and commercial relations between our two countries. I also discussed with the Indian Government many aspects of the general relations between our two countries including matters connected with our trade, investment, aviation and shipping services.
