Chidambaram arrives in US; to discuss anti-terror cooperation

Lalit K Jha

Washington, Sep 8 (PTI) Ways to strengthen Indo-US
anti-terrorism cooperation and Pakistan's inaction against
perpetrators of the Mumbai attacks are among the issues likely
to figure prominently in talks Home Minister of India P
Chidambaram will have with top American officials during his
four-day US visit that began on Tuesday.

Chidambaram, who arrived in New York on his maiden US
trip as Home Minister, is expected to discuss with the Obama
Administration officials the unsatisfactory response from
Pakistan on taking action against the perpetrators of 26/11
attacks and prevention of the Pakistani soil against terrorist
activities in India.

Besides, a wide range of issues related to anti-terrorism
cooperation between the two countries are likely to figure
during his talks.

Anti-terrorism cooperation between India and the US is
one of the key pillars of bilateral ties identified by the
Obama Administration as was reflected during the visit of
Secretary of State Hillary Clinton to Mumbai and New Delhi in
July.

Chidambaram would be in New York and Washington during
his four-day trip, during which he is scheduled to have a
first hand experience of the steps being taken by the US to
prevent any terror strike. (More) PTI LKJ
