OBAMA-INDIA 2 LST

"I look forward to working with Prime Minister Singh and
our fellow G-20 partners this month in Toronto as we work to
foster economic growth that is both balanced and sustained,"
he said.
"With our agreement on fuel reprocessing, we're moving
ahead with our civil nuclear agreement. We're expanding our
green partnership to promote green buildings, energy
efficiency and the sustainable development that creates jobs
and reduces poverty.
As we strive to implement our Copenhagen commitments,
we'll be working together to ensure a successful climate
conference in Mexico later this year," he said.
Obama said India and the US are cooperating more closely
than ever before against transnational threats.
"This includes making progress for the Afghan people, and
preventing terrorism, whether it's in Manhattan or in Mumbai,"
he said.
"It includes securing vulnerable nuclear materials, a
goal we advanced at our Nuclear Security Summit, where I
thanked Prime Minister Singh for committing India to building
a new Centre of Excellence for nuclear energy and security.
Our efforts include a stronger global nonproliferation
regime where all nations live up to their obligations," he
said.
US and India are broadening partnerships between their
people, especially in science, technology and global health.
"More students are taking advantage of our expanded
Fulbright-Nehru programme. We're working to expand ties
between our universities and community colleges.
We're partnering on agriculture and research to reduce
global hunger, and to share India's incredible progress with
other countries," he said. PTI LKJ
