"The US sees India as a global power." This is what US President Barack Obama told Prime Minister Manmohan Singh as they stepped into a bilateral meeting on the sidelines of the G20 Summit.
"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.

London, April 02, 2009
Even as thousands protest the G20 (Group of 20) summit in London “for robbing the poor to benefit the rich”, on Thursday, the global community expects the 20 nations to come up with a plan to arrest and reverse the global downturn.
"G20 is not going to agree on every point,” said US President Barack Obama in a press conference with UK Prime Minister Gordon Brown on Wednesday. The G20 countries have an "obligation to lead", he said, and in the days ahead, they "will move forward with a sense of purpose".

Two hours before he departs for London to participate in a global summit of G20 nations on April 2, Prime Minister Manmohan Singh has his priorities clear but words them in diplomatic and stretchable words: “It is important and necessary for the Summit to take credible decisions which will help to halt and reverse the current slowdown and to instill a sense of confidence in the global economy.”
What is less ambiguous is his agenda for the meeting with US President Barack Obama. “This will be our first meeting and will be an opportunity for us to review our bilateral relations, as well as hold discussions on important regional and global issues such as terrorism, the situation in Afghanistan, energy security and climate change,” Singh said.
