NICK Clegg and Indian prime minister Narendra Modi have held talks on trade, climate change and education.
The Deputy Prime Minister met Mr Modi at his official residence, the Panchavati in New Delhi, for the discussions about links between the two countries.
The Liberal Democrat leader, who is in India with a 40-strong trade delegation, discussed the prospect of bringing leading teachers from the UK's top institutions to teach in India.
Another idea the pair considered was the possibility of British experts helping to clean the Ganges, drawing on efforts to improve the water quality in the Thames.
Senior government figures have made a series of trips to India since the coalition came to power in 2010 in an effort to create a new "special relationship" and strengthen trade with the emerging economic powerhouse. Chancellor George Osborne and then Foreign Secretary William Hague visited in July, while David Cameron has made three trips to India as Prime Minister.
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
