NEW DELHI – British Foreign Secretary William Hague met with top officials in the Indian capital on Thursday to discuss ways to increase trade and investment and to tackle other issues, including terrorism, cyber security and defense.
Hague met with Indian Foreign Minister Salman Khurshid, and the two spoke to reporters later in the day.
