Obama Looking for ‘Ambitious Results’ during India Visit in November
On his maiden visit to India in November, US President Barack Obama will be looking for ‘ambitious results’ while focusing on forging closer ties on strategic issues, said media reports.
“The (US) President himself is looking forward to ambitious results and again sees our relations with India as one of the most consequential and indispensable of our partnerships in the world of the 21st century,” Assistant Secretary of State for South and Central Asia Robert Blake was quoted as saying.
“The Strategic Dialogue that we initiated last week took US—India relations to unprecedented new levels of cooperation that will be highlighted during the (US) President’s visit in November,” Blake was quoted as saying while talking to reporters in his interaction after the first Indo-US Strategic Dialogue held in Washington on June 3.
He said that the US would develop a schedule and a series of results to math Obama’s goals, reports said.
“That’s exactly what we’re starting to work on right now, is the details of what the President’s visit will entail, what will be the key areas of strategic focus, where will he visit, and all of these many important questions,” he was quoted as saying.
Last week, Obama himself announced that he would travel to India in early November and said that he is proud to visit the country.
As of now his travel dates to India has been tentatively scheduled from November 7 to November 10.
