British PM arrives in India ahead of talks with Singh
AFP - 2 hours 41 minutes ago
NEW DELHI (AFP) - - British Prime Minister Gordon Brown arrived in India late Saturday ahead of talks with his Indian counterpart Manmohan Singh following last month's attacks on Mumbai which killed 172 people.
Brown touched down at New Delhi's Indira Gandhi international airport after flying from Kabul, where he met Afghan President Hamid Karzai following a surprise visit to British troops in southern Afghanistan.
He was due to hold talks with Singh at 0830 local time (0300 GMT) Sunday, an AFP correspondent travelling with him said.
A British-Cypriot businessman was killed in the 60-hour siege on India's financial centre in which 172 people died, including nine gunmen.
Western powers have engaged in intensive diplomacy to try to defuse tensions between nuclear-armed India and Pakistan in the wake of the Mumbai attacks, which New Delhi blames on elements in Pakistan.
The two South Asian states have fought three wars since independence from Britain and ties have been seriously damaged by the attacks.
India has ruled out military action against Pakistan following the carnage in Mumbai, but described its neighbour as being the "epicentre of terrorism".
