New Delhi: India and the US will announce
some of the most "tangible" results of their partnership in
November, when Prime Minister Manmohan Singh travels to
Washington for an official visit.
Noting that President Barack Obama views the US-India
relationship as "one of the most important partnerships for
America`s future", new US ambassador to India Timothy Roemer
said "we plan to move from good work done and the goodwill
earned between our countries over the past decade to build a
truly global partnership addressing both our nations` top
concerns...."
"Put another way, a new strategic partnership on the
most critically important issues in the world to help advance
our shared regional and global interests. As the US ambassador
in India, I plan to vigorously support our broad strategic
dialogue.....to bring the best of America forward in our
engagement with India.
"We intend to announce some of the most tangible
results of our partnership this November, when Prime Minister
Singh travels to Washington for an official visit," he said.
Singh has invited President Obama to visit India too,
Roemer said while addressing the media, a day after presenting
his credentials to President Pratibha Patil.
He also recalled the agenda of the strategic dialogue
announced at the end of Secretary of State Hillary Clinton`s
visit which included cooperation, energy and climate change,
economics and trade and said these are "big, bold and broad
series of undertakings".
