New Delhi: US Ambassador Timothy Roemer on Monday said President
Barack Obama's forthcoming visit to India would deepen the relationship reflecting shared values, benefit and vision of global partnership between the two nations.
Timothy Roemer said President Obama, who will arrive in Mumbai on Saturday, attached
great importance to this visit, reflected in the fact that it would be the longest
Presidential visit of his tenure ever since assuming office. "President of United
States is going to be coming to India soon. It's going to be one of the longest
stays of his Presidency. He will be in India probably longer than he will be in
any other country since he's President. He's looking forward to renewing his very
intimate ties and friendship with Doctor Singh. They look forward to talking about
the strategic and global nature of the partnership," said Roemer. "We are very
much looking forward to India and the United States working together on some of
the most important issues facing mankind today. It's going to be a very important
and exciting time. And a reflection of the shared values and the shared benefit
and the shared vision of this global partnership," he added after his meeting
with Union Home Minister P Chidambaram earlier today. Roemer met Union Home Minister
P Chidambaram here on Monday to review the security situation. The meeting assumes
significance as it came just four days ahead of US President Obama reaching Mumbai.
They are reported to have discussed Union Home Secretary GK Pillai remarks on
intelligence sharing on David Coleman Headley.
