US invites Chidambaram for in-depth talks to combat terrorism

New Delhi, Aug 12 (PTI) India Home Minister P
Chidambaram has been invited by the US to have in-depth
discussions to find ways of how New Delhi and Washington can
cooperate more to combat terrorism.

Addressing a press-conference, a day after presenting
his credentials, US Ambassador to India Timothy Roemer said
"we will continue to seek justice for those killed and injured
in Mumbai (26/11 attacks) and we will work closely with India
to share with you the lessons we learned in the wake of our
tragic terror attacks of September 11, 2001.

"To that end, we have invited the Indian Home Minister
Chidambaram to visit the US for additional discussions on
precisely how our two nations can cooperate."

He said the US stands firmly with India against
terrorism. "We cannot forget that six Americans were killed
along with dozens of Indians and so many others in that tragic
and brutal attack," the new ambassador said. PTI PYK
