Kolkata: Britain Friday pitched in for infrastructure projects on PPP (public private participation) model in West Bengal.
British firms have the capability to deliver top quality budget infrastructure on time, Minister for Trade, Investment and Foreign Affairs Ian McCartney said at an interactive session with the Indian Chamber of Commerce (ICC) here.
McCartney, who met West Bengal Chief Minister Buddhadeb Bhattacharya at the state secretariat Writers' Buildings Thursday, said the British companies can provide skills if the state builds airports.
'With 21 international airports, Britain is a global air transport hub. We know how to build and manage first class airports. The outstanding airports at Kuala Lumpur and Hong Kong wouldn't have been there without the British input,' he said. The minister also showcased British firms in development and management of ports.
