Hyderabad, Oct 14 (UNI) Telangana Chief Minister A. Revanth Reddy on Wednesday assured a high-level UK delegation that investments in the state were safe, citing policy continuity, a large talent pool and a conducive business environment as key strengths.

The delegation was led by Oliver Coppard, Mayor of South Yorkshire; David Skaith, Mayor of York and North Yorkshire; and Tracy Brabin, Mayor of West Yorkshire.
