According to official sources, the initial response from the Obama administration has been positive, belying fears expressed by some observers that while Mr. Obama might be good for the world at large, he may not be so good for India, particularly given his stance on outsourcing and the India-U.S. nuclear deal, and his interventionist bent in India-Pakistan issues. India has reason to be satisfied with the U.S. description of the relationship as a true, strategic, standalone global partnership. Apart from the meeting with British Prime Minister Gordon Brown who is the summit host on Wednesday, the only formal bilateral meeting Dr. Singh has during the visit is with Mr. Obama. U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner are also expected to join the 45-minute meeting. The Indian team would include Deputy Chairman of the Planning Commission Montek Singh Ahluwalia, National Security Adviser M.K. Narayanan and Foreign Secretary Shiv Shankar Menon.
