PM-OBAMA 2 LST

The Prime Minister said a "very warm welcome" awaits
Obama, the First Lady Michelle and their children when they
visit India.
He said during the visit, Obama can see for himself
what India is trying to do, the difficulties of managing
social and economic transformation in the framework of a
democracy committed to the rule of law, committed to all
fundamental human freedoms.
"I think that's what India seeks to achieve," he said.
Obama also recalled the State Visit of Singh in
November, when the two leaders decided to launch a Strategic
Dialogue between the two countries.
"...we instituted what we termed a strategic
partnership that involves all of our ministers at the highest
levels working together to try to find ways to enhance
commercial ties, security ties, coordination on critical
multilateral issues like climate change," he said.
"And as a consequence, (External Affairs) Minister S M
Krishna led a delegation to Washington to follow up, and
working with Secretary (of State Hillary) Clinton, conducted
some very high-level talks. I had the opportunity to
participate in that dialogue," the US President said.
Obama said the two countries would continue to see how
businesses of both countries can get to work together and then
generating recommendations to "each of us in terms of how we
can improve ties between the United States and India." PTI VSC
