WikiLeaks: US condemns unauthorized disclosures of confidential information | US Ambassador to India Timothy J. Roemer on Tuesday said that the United States Government has condemned the unauthorized disclosures of confidential information and sensitive national security information. In a statement, Roemer said: "By releasing these documents, WikiLeaks puts at risk the cause of human rights, the lives and work of dedicated individuals, and threatens our ability to conduct essential private and diplomatic dialogue. Reassuring India that US welcomes a
greater global leadership role for India , Roemer said: "The United States values
its perspectives on how to meet common challenges, including countering terrorism,
securing our maritime domains, and working together to promote democratic, political
and economic development around the world." Roemer further said: "President Barack
Obama supports responsible, accountable, and open government at home and around
the world, but this reckless and dangerous action runs counter to that goal."
"The United States is committed to maintaining the security of our diplomatic
communications and is moving aggressively to hold accountable those responsible,"
he added. "During President Barack Obama's recent visit to India , he reiterated
that the relationship between the United States and India , bound by our shared
interests and our shared values, will be one of the defining partnerships of the
21st century," he said. "The President's stay in India , the longest foreign trip
of his Presidency to date, underscores the US commitment to a long-term strategic
partnership with India ," he added.
