New Delhi has raised with the UK, the issue of visa problems being faced by its professionals and the way they are affecting bilateral trade and investments. Commerce and Industry Minister Anand Sharma touched upon the issue at a meeting with British Secretary of State for Business, Innovation and Skills Vince Cable in London.

Mr Sharma said India wants to make sure that business visitors are able to travel to the UK without facing visa-related problems. He highlighted as to how the IT industry in particular is getting impacted by such issues as delivery of services is dependant on the movement of professionals at short notice.
