May visited the temple on the final day of a three-day trade mission designed to pave the way for close commercial links with India after Brexit
The England PM was leading a 33-strong business delegation with the aim of bringing down barriers to commerce and paving the way for a free trade agreement following Brexit.
“During this visit, we’ve seen £1 billion worth of deals being signed and we’ve come to an agreement with the Indian government that we will work together with them on developing our trade relationship for the future.
“What does that mean? It means more jobs, more investment in the UK, more trade for British businesses and that’s good for everyone.”
The first leg of Mrs May’s visit, in the capital, New Delhi, was dominated by tensions over visas, with her Indian counterpart Narendra Modi putting pressure on the UK to ease restrictions on students and skilled workers coming to Britain.
