London: British Prime Minister Tony Blair and Foreign Secretary Jack Straw will soon undertake visits to India to further cement strong bilateral ties.

"The relationship has the highest level of commitment and attention... I was last there (in India) at the beginning of February and intend to visit again as quickly as I can, and so will the Prime Minister," Straw said during a debate in Parliament.

On Conservative member Peter Luff's contention that Britain should remind the new Indian Government the importance of maintaining their commitment to open markets and liberalisation, Straw recalled that Prime Minister Manmohan Singh was one of the pioneers of the economic liberalisation programme that began in the 1990s.
