US values India`s role as a global player: Crowley

Washington: US has said that it values the
role being played by India at the world stage and looks
forward to working with New Delhi on the UN Security Council.

"India is an emerging global power in its own right, and
it is increasingly involved and engaged in global challenges
from regional security to the environment," State Department
spokesman P J Crowley said.

"So we value the role that India is playing on the world
stage and look forward to working with India on the Security
Council," Crowley said in response to a question.
