BRITAIN'S new visa policy could have a "negative impact" on business visits by Indian professionals, India's Prime Minister Narendra Modi told his UK counterpart Theresa May on Monday (5) at the G20 summit in China.
In their first meeting this week since she became prime minister in July, May and Modi also discussed bilateral ties after Britain voted to leave the European Union, India's external affairs ministry spokesperson Vikas Swarup said.
