India Denies Halting Trade Talks with UK Despite Reports of Retaliation

Trade talks between India and the UK have not been suspended and will continue this year, according to officials from both countries. The statement comes in response to a report in The Times that India had "disengaged" from the talks after London failed to condemn Sikh separatists. India has been upset about protests and vandalism by Sikh separatists outside its mission in London and elsewhere in the US and Canada.
