(14 Nov 2013) British Prime Minister David Cameron met his Indian counterpart Manmohan Singh in New Delhi on Thursday.
Cameron is stopping off in India for a brief visit en-route to Colombo to attend a Commonwealth leaders' summit.
He is also expected to travel to the Eastern Indian city of Kolkata on Thursday - as he seeks to boost trade and investment ties between the UK and India.
Cameron is stopping in India for a brief 23-hour visit.
As Friday's summit opening approaches, global focus remains trained on Sri Lanka's 27-year civil war and alleged atrocities committed by both rebels and soldiers who, despite a sustained international outcry, have been spared from investigations and prosecutions since the war ended in 2009.
The leaders of Canada and India are boycotting the summit.
Others have had to justify their plans to attend by promising to bring Sri Lanka's government to task.
Cameron had earlier said that engaging Sri Lanka at the summit is preferable to isolating and shaming the country into submission.
Singh was opaque on why his foreign minister would be leading the Indian delegation.
But observers concluded he was bowing to Tamil politicians so incensed over the summit they passed assembly resolutions in India's southern Tamil Nadu state demanding the boycott.
