US President Barack Obama made a strong appeal for religious freedom at a town hall-style meeting in Delhi on Tuesday, weighing in on one of India's most controversial topics as he wound up a three-day visit.
Prime Minister Manmohan Singh arrived in Washington today on a two-day "working visit" to meet US President Barack Obama at the White House tomorrow, during which the two leaders are expected to discuss a wide range of issues with focus on defence, economic and regional issues.
A key US Congressional committee has convened a hearing on economic conditions in India just ahead of the crucial meeting between Prime Minister Manmohan Singh and US President Barack Obama this week.
Prime Minister Manmohan Singh is on a five-day visit to the US during which he will hold summit talks with President Barack Obama as well as address the UN General Assembly. Below is the statement by the PM prior to his departure:
Prime Minister Manmohan Singh will on a five-day visit to the US on Wednesday during which he will hold summit talks with President Barack Obama as well as address the UN General Assembly.
The government is reportedly planning to bypass a law that makes foreign suppliers liable for a nuclear accident, a controversial move that will favour an American company ahead of Prime Minister Manmohan Singh's meeting with US president Barack Obama at the UN General Assembly next week.
President Barack Obama will welcome Indian Prime Minister Manmohan Singh to the White House on September 27, for talks on trade, investment and regional security, US officials said on Tuesday.
