Meeting with Vajpayee part of coalition consultation: US

The United States has said President George W Bush's forthcoming meeting with Prime Minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee is part of the US leader's consultation with members of the coalition against terrorism.

National Security Advisor Condoleezza Rice said, “President Bush will talk about the importance of world leaders and coalition allies. He will define the nature of the global response to terrorism and update the progress on the war on terrorism, talking about the responsibilities of those who have joined the coalition.”

Deputy Spokesman of the State Department Phil Reeker also referred to Vajpayee's forthcoming visit to Washington for talks with Bush.

He said: “The State Department echoes the extreme pleasure at hosting the Indian prime minister. This is a terrific opportunity for us to continue following up on a wide range of bilateral issues that we share. Of course, the coalition against terrorism is an important element.”

“India lost many citizens in the attacks of September 11 in New York, but has also been a very important player in an important region in supporting our efforts against terrorism, which, of course, involve so many different aspects, from intelligence sharing, law enforcement cooperation to general diplomatic effort at that,” Reeker said.

“We will have an opportunity to review that, as well as economic relations -- a whole variety of our broad bilateral relations with India,” he added.
