Washington, Nov 18 (PTI) US President Barack Obama
will share impressions and thoughts of his maiden visit to
China with Indian Prime Minister Manmohan Singh when he
arrives here for a high-profile state visit next week.

Singh would be the first head of government to be
hosted at the White House after President Obama took over in
January this year. Obama is scheduled to meet Singh at the
White House on November 24.
State Department spokesman Ian Kelly told reporters at
his daily news briefing that the US is looking forward to the
state visit of the Indian Prime Minister.
"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," Kelly said in response to a question.
Interestingly, in a joint statement with China, Obama
Tuesday voiced support for the improvement in Indo-Pak ties
and their readiness to promote regional peace and stability.
Noting that the White House is working on an agenda
for the Indo-US summit, Kelly said that 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. PTI LKJ
