New Delhi: British Prime Minister David Cameron is likely to press for Eurofighter Typhoon deal and the entry of super-market giant Tesco into the Indian market during his three-day official visit here beginning from February 18.

Sources said the UK Prime Minister will make a bid for the deal on Eurofighter Typhoon as the agreement between India and France for 126 Rafale fighter jets could not be signed during the recent visit of French President Francois Hollande.

The sources said Mr Cameron will also pitch for the entry of Tesco in multi-brand retail even though Tesco has has teamed up with the Tata Group in a wholesale business in India.

Mr Cameron who arrives in India on February 18 on a three-day official visit, will hold discussions with his Indian counterpart Manmohan Singh on several issues, mainly business and trade relations and cooperation in education between the two countries.

The discussions will also focus on counter-terrorism cooperation, cyber security and energy. The Vodafone tax issue is also likely to be discussed. (UNI)
