Hillary coming to India in July for talks (Lead, superseding earlier story)
April 20th, 2011 - 12:11 am ICT by IANSNew Delhi, April 19 (IANS) External Affairs Minister S.M. Krishna Tuesday said he will meet US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton in the Indian capital in July when the two sides are to hold their strategic dialogue on security, trade and other issues.
“I visited Washington last year and I expect Secretary Clinton to come to Delhi in July of this year,” Krishna said at an event to release the National Security Index 2010 here Tuesday.
The strategic talks will not include defence, which is a separate dialogue.
“We have a very structured security relationship with the US. We have entered into a civil nuclear accord and we have our annual meeting of the commission…. So I think our mutual interests are being well taken care of,” he said in response to questions from senior diplomacy and security experts present at the event.
The “strategic dialogue” was established in July 2009 during Clinton’s visit to India with the objective of strengthening bilateral cooperation in five areas, including strategic cooperation on non-proliferation, counter-terrorism; energy and climate change; education and development on education and women’s empowerment; economics, trade and agriculture on business, trade and food security; and science and technology, health and innovation on major technologies and global health challenges.
The first round of the dialogue was held in Washington in June 2010 when Krishna led the Indian delegation.
