India considers Britain to be its gateway into Europe, Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi said on Thursday when asked by a reporter about Britain's planned referendum on its membership of the European Union.
"We continue to see the UK as our entry point into the EU," Modi, speaking via a translator, told reporters during a visit to Britain.
British Prime Minister David Cameron plans to hold an in-out vote on Britain's membership of the EU by the end of 2017.
