Britain backs India's claim
to Security Council seat

H S Rao in London

Britain on Thursday backed India's candidature for permanent membership of the United Nations Security Council.

At a press conference in London at the end of his three-day official visit to the United Kingdom, Deputy Prime Minister Lal Kishenchand Advani conveyed India's appreciation for Britain's support.

He said that during his meeting with British Deputy Prime Minister John Prescott, both sides reiterated their commitment to implementation of the New Delhi Declaration, signed by Prime Ministers Tony Blair and Atal Bihari Vajpayee in New Delhi earlier this year.

Both sides noted with satisfaction the significant increase in bilateral trade, Advani said.

Prescott will visit India next month, he said.
