Britain PM May heads to India with eye on post-Brexit trade

London

BRITISH Prime Minister Theresa May will lead a delegation of small and medium-size businesses to India in November as part of efforts to bolster trade with countries outside the European Union as Britain prepares to leave the bloc.

The Nov 6-8 trip, Mrs May's first bilateral visit to a country outside Europe since she took office in July, will be in pursuit of her ambition of forging a new global role for Britain after it leaves the European Union (EU), Mrs May's Downing Street office said in a statement.
