PM-VISIT 2

Given the US position with regard to Af-Pak strategic
review, it is expected that Obama and Singh would discuss
Afghanistan and Pakistan and talk about stability and security
in the region.

They are expected to discuss the critical issue of
climate change, particularly in the run up to the Copenhagen
conference happening in a few weeks.
With non-proliferation being one of the top priorities of
Obama, it is likely that they would talk about nuclear
non-proliferation; besides counter-terrorism efforts and what
the two countries can do jointly on those efforts, the
official said.
They are also expected to discuss Obama's recent trip to
Asia, particularly China, given the proximity and the large
interest India has with China and Indo-China relationship.
"I would expect that the President would give the Prime
Minister a briefing about his impression of China and his
views on China and Asia overall," the official said.
Obama and Singh are expected to hold extensive discussion
on the US-India strategic dialogue launched during the visit
of Secretary of State Hillary Clinton to India in July.
"We have such a broad based relationship that there are a
lot of issues in each of those to discuss and lot of progress
to announce," the official said.
"We will be announcing progress in many areas. We have
moved beyond the point of needing something big at every
summit," the official said. (MORE) PTI LKJ
