Obama to share China visit with India

Washington, Nov 18: The US top official has said that President Barack Obama will share impressions and thoughts of his ongoing China visit with Prime Minister Manmohan Singh.

Manmohan Singh will visit the state next week. He would be the first head of government to be hosted at the White House after President Obama took over in Jan 2009.

Speaking to reporters, State Department spokesman Ian Kelly said, "I am sure that since the President will have just gotten back from China, and that'll be fresh on his mind that he will share some of his impressions and thoughts about his visit to China as well."

According to Kelly, Under-Secretary of State for Political Affairs Bill Burns has been very actively involved in coordinating the strategic dialogue framework that the US has with India.

"The Secretary (of State, Hillary Clinton) looks forward to participating in these meetings. I think she is going to host at least one event here at the State Department," he added.

Obama is scheduled to meet Singh at the White House on Nov 24.
