[Arul Selvan]

Information and Broadcasting Minister Ravi Shankar Prasad and his 
British counterpart Tessa Jowell brokered an agreement during their 
meeting in London for Britain to cooperate and help in controlling 
piracy that has caused immense financial losses to Bollywood. Britain 
will also invest in the production of co-cultural and cross-over films. 
Prasad added that Britain would jointly work for Human Resources 
Development in the film sector, as well.

The minister announced that Goa would be a permanent venue of the 
International Film Festivals that are held in India. A team of officials 
from the state government were in Cannes during the film festival there 
to study the management and organisation of the event.
