British Prime Minister David Cameron will pay a 3-day official visit to India beginning on Monday during which he will hold delegation level talks with Indian Prime Minister Dr. Manmohan Singh.
Cameron would be accompanied by a delegation including CEOs of leading business houses, Vice Chancellors of reputed universities, dignitaries and senior officials.
Cameron will then visit Mumbai on February 18. In Mumbai, his program includes visits to Hindustan Unilever headquarters, a Business Interaction at Taj Palace Hotel, a visit to St. Xavier School, and laying a wreath at the Police Memorial.
On February 19, Cameron will hold delegation-level talks with PM Manmohan at the Hyderabad House. He will also meet President Pranab Mukherjee on the same day.
Anglo-Dutch multinational oil and gas company Royal Dutch Shell has asked the British government to discuss the firm's 2.7 billion dollars tax row with Indian authorities during his visit to India.
The dispute revolves around a transfer of shares between Shell India and another subsidiary, Shell Gas, in 2009.
Shell has been issued with a tax bill after it was accused by Indian authorities of undervaluing the shares by 2.7 billion dollars.
The oil firm has not revealed the size of the tax bill, but it has dismissed accusations of tax evasion as "baseless".
