London: Britain on January 9 regretted India's decision to test-launch ballistic missile Agni, saying it sends wrong signals in the region and beyond.

"The UK regrets India's decision to test a ballistic missile. We believe that restrain in developing possible nuclear weapons delivery systems is in the long-term interest of India and the region," a Foreign office spokesman said.

He said the test "sends the wrong signals within the region and beyond."
