\"Brexit-to-bring1\"NEW DELHI: Brexit will likely lead to a “far higher level of engagement” with Britain, India's finance minister said Tuesday during a visit by his British counterpart aimed at boosting trade, reports AFP.<\/p>\n

Arun Jaitley and British finance minister Philip Hammond discussed various aspects of the bilateral relationship including a possible post-Brexit trade deal, a partnership in financial and technology sectors and funding for Indian infrastructure projects.Britain has made clear its desire to boost trade with India, the world's fastest-growing major economy.<\/p>\n

“Ever since the Brexit referendum took place, it has been clear to us through our communication with the government of the United Kingdom that post-Brexit, (it) will look for more trade, more open trade and more trade arrangements with India,” Jaitley told a joint press conference.<\/p>\n
