Prime Minister Mannmohan Singh to personally receive Obama at Delhi airport
New Delhi: Setting aside protocol, Prime Minister Manmohan Singh will personally receive US President Barack Obama when he arrives at the Delhi airport on Sunday.

Singh, who is expected to be accompanied by his wife Gursharan Kaur, will greet Obama and US First Lady Michelle Obama when they arrive from Mumbai on Sunday afternoon, extending a rare gesture.

Singh had made a similar gesture when Obama's immediate predecessor as American President George W Bush had visited India in March, 2006.
