US President Barack Obama is looking forward to his talks with Prime Minister Manmohan Singh where they will discuss ways to strengthen the Indo-US strategic and global partnership, US ambassador Timothy Roemer said on Monday.
He said Obama was keen to renew his "very intimate ties and friendship" with the Prime Minister during his three-day visit beginning November 6. "They look forward to talk about the strategic and global nature of the partnership and we are very much looking forward to India and United States working together on some of the most important issues facing the mankind today," Roemer told reporters after meeting home minister P. Chidambaram here.
The ambassador said Obama's visit would be very important and exciting occasion for both the countries as the two leaders would talk on a host of issues. "It is going to be very important and exciting time... and reflection of shared values, shared benefits and shared vision of this global partnership," he said.
The ambassador said the President is going to stay perhaps for the longest time in any country during his Presidency so far. "He would be in India probably longer than he would be in any other country since he became President," he said.
