Britain's Prince Charles and his wife Camilla, Duchess of Cornwall, arrived in smog-covered Delhi on Wednesday.

In India, Prince Charles will meet Prime Minister Narendra Modi for bilateral talks as part of a series of events planned during his two-day visit with wife Camilla.

Prince Charles arrived in New Delhi as part of his 11-day visit to south-east Asia on behalf of the Queen and the Foreign Office.

They have so far visited Singapore, Malaysia and Borneo, flying in from the island of Penang this morning.

Prince Charles has given his backing to a new development bond for India to provide education to marginalised children in the country.

The 10-million-dollar Education Development Impact Bond (DIB) has been created by the British Asian Trust, founded by the Prince of Wales to fight poverty in South Asia, and is designed to improve learning outcomes for thousands of marginalised children in India.
