Britain's Foreign Secretary Margaret Beckett met Indian Prime Minister Manmohan Singh and Foreign Minister Pranab Mukherjee in New Delhi on Wednesday as part of her six-day visit to the country.
Speaking afterwards, Beckett said that India and Britain must share and learn from each other's--what she called--"unfortunate and tragic" experience of bombings.
 "On the issue of counter-terrorism, there are the obvious things, our shared concern, shared flow of information but also very concretely we have people working for example with the relevant authorities in India to help prepare, as we are all having to try to do, for greater protection in attacks on mass transit infrastructure."
For his part, Indian Foreign minister Mukherjee says personnels on anti-terrorism from both sides are to be involved in more exchanges.
"We discussed strengthening cooperation in counter-terrorism and have agreed to a meeting of our experts in the area of protection of critical national infrastructure such as the mass transit system and other assets."
207 people were killed and more than 800 wounded in Mumbai in bombings of seven trains in July this year.
And in July 2005, 52 commuters were killed in attacks on the London underground and bus systems.
