Barrack obama’s India visit: Obama called for
renewed partnership with India in a host of areas ranging from clean energy to farming and
crop forecasting to food processing, and said both nations should work together to curb
protectionism.
"As global partners, we can promote prosperity in both our countries... Together, we can
create the high-tech, high-wage jobs of the future.
"As G-20 partners, we can make sure the global economic recovery is a strong and durable
recovery," he said.
In his address to Members of Parliament, Obama said: "Together, we can resist the
protectionism that stifles growth and innovation. The US remains - and will continue to
remain - one of the most open economies in the world."
Seeking reciprocity to break trade and investment barriers, Obama said: "By opening
markets and reducing barriers to foreign investment, India can realize its full economic
potential as well." The US President said the two sides can work together as equal partners
in a host of areas including climate change, clean energy, agriculture productivity and even
research among students, colleges and universities. He called upon India and the rest of the
world to condemn the atrocities occurring under regimes like the one in Myanmar, urging
India not to shy away and that it would not mean interfering in others’ affairs but “standing for
universal values.” On the sticky issue of Doha round of global trade negotiations, he said
India and the US can strive for a global trade deal which is ambitious and balanced.
However, he said the two countries should show the "courage" to make
"compromises"……!!!!and like always we star licking his ass….hmmm
sarkozy India’s visit: Nuclear energy would be the
“focus” of Indo-French cooperation, he said, lauding the “considerable environmental
benefit” and “energy independence” that it brought. As much as 80 per cent of France's
electricity came from nuclear source.
India's decision to expand its nuclear energy production from 4,000 to 62,000 megawatts
in 20 years represents a “change of attitude.” With the completion of the proposed
nuclear power project at Jaitapur, to be built in collaboration with the French company
Areva, the six Indo-French EPR plants would provide 10,000 megawatts of energy, said
Mr. Sarkozy.
France hoped to take in three times the number of Indian students in its universities by
2012 compared to 2007, he said.
“France wishes to expand ties with Indian universities, and wants to host more Indian
students.”
Mr. Sarkozy said: “No nation and no region can live in isolation. If we succeed in
defeating terrorism and the insurgency in Afghanistan and Pakistan, we will have
eliminated a major source of global instability

teachers in India.

commercial, historical and foreign policy reasons and the presence of a large community
of Indian origin in UK,' spokesperson for India's Ministry for External Affairs Navtej

Wen jiabao India’s visit: During Wen's visit to India,
China hopes to "strengthen the high level contacts to enhance strategic mutual trust and build consensus",
Hu said.
"Economically we hope to expand bilateral trade, intensify mutual investment and enhance cooperation in
infrastructure, construction and other fields. China hopes to intensify people-to-people contacts, hope to
share each other's experiences of development so that we can compliment with each other's strengths," he
said. On the cultural front, Hu said, China hopes to intensify people-to people-exchanges, "enhance mutual
understanding to gain more popular support for our relations to maintain positive cooperation for peace".
"On the international and regional affairs we hope to intensify communication and coordination and make
positive contribution to the maintenance of peace and stability in the world and promote common
development," he said. The expectations during Wen's visit are that there should be speedy
progress in the resolution of the border dispute, discontinuation of stapled visas, stop
cooperating with Pakistan on the nuclear and ballistic missile issues, opening of the
Chinese market and reduction in trade deficits and carrying forward on counter-terrorism
measures The Chinese expectations mainly focus on India giving up territories in
Arunachal Pradesh (southern Tibet as the Chinese recently suggested), boycotting the
Nobel Peace Prize award ceremony (which South Block has ignored), reining in the
Dalai Lama and the Tibetans (who were accused of internationalising the Tibet issue),
free trade zone proposals, etc. As Premier Wen said at Hanoi in October 2010, 'To make
the visit a productive one, we need to discuss and reach a consensus on some major
aspects.'
While there is a modicum of consensus between the two countries at certain multilateral
fields, differences on regional and bilateral issues have stalled both from overcoming a
relatively stagnant relationship. Consensus then eludes the two leaderships on a number
of issues and that will be the focus of discussions during Wen's visit.
