ROEMER 2

"I hope that in future the action on 26/11 includes
people like Hafiz Saeed. Recently he was put into an Interpol
red flag list," Roemer said. The US is expending personal
treasure and resources to help dismantle infrastructure of
terrorism in this region, he added.

In the 26/11 attacks, people of India suffered
tremendous hardship and loss and devastation, Roemer said.

"It is time to reflect on the common enemy of the US and
India. We share concerns about LeT, al Qaeda and Taliban and
the threat emanating from that part of the world and we are
working closer and closer together as two great powers to take
on a common enemy and bring blood-thirsty perpetrators of
these attacks to justice," Roemer said.

"When scores of Indians are killed, when six Americans
are killed, this is a priority for our country and I know it
is a priority for India," he said.

The Indo-US relationship is an extremely positive
relationship, Roemer said. "Secretary of State Hillary Clinton
was here, expressing deep interest on part of our government.
She came to India, went to a conference in Bangkok and then
went home. She did not go to any other place in the area. She
values this Indo-US bilateral relationship.

"President (Barack) Obama told me this is one of the most
important and best relationships we will have in the world."
