Obama likely to visit India later this year | US President Barack Obama is likely to visit India later this year, Assistant Secretary of State for South and Central Asia, Robert Blake, has revealed.
While he didn't announce any dates for the visit, Blake said President Obama considers
India an indispensable partner of the US. Addressing the Chicago Council on Global
Affairs in Washington, he pointed out that India is on top of the agenda of the
Obama Administration, which is reflected in the very fact that he invited Prime
Minister Manmohan Singh for his first State Visit in November last year. Blake
added that New Delhi and the US share common ideals and complementary strengths
reflected in their very close people-to-people contacts, shared embrace of democratic
principles and willingness to work together on issues that matter not only to
them but to the global community. Blake appreciated New Delhi's valuable assistance
to the war-torn Afghanistan's reconstruction, both in infrastructure and humanitarian
fields. |
