From Brexit To Mallya, Finance Minister Arun Jaitley Discusses Key Issues With His UK Counterpart

According to reports, British Prime Minister Theresa May dropped in on a meeting between Finance Minister Arun Jaitley and his UK counterpart during which the issue of “certain individuals who have overstayed” here figured. Jaitley met Chancellor of the Exchequer Philip Hammond at his office in No 11 Downing Street in London. Reports suggest that Brexit and its implications on India-UK ties and the issue of “certain individuals who have overstayed their welcome” in Britain, in an apparent reference to liquor baron Vijay Mallya, were among the topics that were touched upon during the “drop-in”. During his talks with Hammond, Jaitley discussed a range of issues around the forthcoming India-UK Economic and Financial Dialogue and the India-UK sub-fund under the National Infrastructure Fund.
