美国国务卿希拉里.克林顿说，美国与印度在打击“暴力极端组织”方面团结一致，两国在国土安全问题的合作日趋加强。希拉里·克林顿星期二在印度首都新德里发表上述讲话。她星期二开始与印度官员举行两天会谈，目的在于加强政治和经济关系。希拉里·克林顿说，上周印度金融中心孟买发生三起爆炸，因此打击极端分子的重要性变得更加清晰。孟买爆炸造成19人死亡、至少130人受伤。
希拉里·克林顿还强调需要加强金融联系，呼吁进一步开放市场，增加美国对印度的军售。希拉里·克林顿说，双方需要解决与2008年民用核能合作协议有关的一些问题。此项协议可能为美国的核能企业在印度开启商机。希拉里·克林顿星期二会晤了印度国家安全顾问希夫尚卡尔·梅农。她星期二还计划与其他高级官员举行会谈，包括总理辛格和国大党主席索尼娅·甘地。
U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton says the United States and India are united in fighting “violent extremist networks,” and that the two nations are increasingly working together on homeland security issues.Her comments came Tuesday in the capital, New Delhi, as she began two days of talks with Indian officials aimed at strengthening political and economic relations.Clinton said the importance of confronting extremists was made even more clear after last week’s triple bombings in India’s financial hub, Mumbai, which killed 19 people and wounded more than 130 others.
She also stressed the need for stronger financial ties, calling for more open markets and increased sales of U.S. arms to India.
Clinton said the two sides need to resolve issues related to a 2008 civil nuclear cooperation deal, which could open up business opportunities for U.S. nuclear energy companies in India.She met Tuesday with Indian National Security Advisor Shivshankar Menon, and is scheduled to hold talks with a range of other senior officials, including Prime Minister Manmohan Singh and Congress Party chief Sonia Gandhi.
