Chicago/New Delhi, Nov. 12: The strategic relationship between India and the United States, which was put in place through the US-India civil nuclear cooperation agreement is likely to be enhanced further during the Obama regime.
This is the indication given by US President-elect Barack Obama during a telephone conversation with Prime Minister Manmohan Singh on Wednesday morning, when he described the bilateral strategic relationship is a "very important partnership".
Onboard Air India One, Nov. 11: The Prime Minister, Dr. Manmohan Singh, on Tuesday, refuted media reports that he had been snubbed by U. S. President elect Barack Obama.
Reacting to news that Obama had failed to call him after receiving his good wishes on being elected as the 44th President of the United States, Dr. Singh said this was untrue.
He said the fact was that he was travelling to Oman and Qatar, and therefore, he was not in a position to receive a phone call from Obama.
