"Our relationship with India is very important,” Obama told the TV crews. “India is a country, like the US, that’s full of energy.”
Turning to Singh, he said, “Mr Prime Minister, the rise of India is attributed to your wisdom. You unleashed the economic power of India as finance minister and now have been guiding the country for five years.

I am grateful for the time I’ve had in London with you and I look forward to visiting India.”
