Obama At Bali

Nearly a decade after his unsuccessful 2004 bid for the White House, John Kerry is getting the chance to be presidential as he fills in for US President Barack Obama at heads of state summits in Asia.

President Obama discussed maritime security, nuclear non-proliferation and disaster aid at an Asian summit on Friday, but just his presence on this resort island telegraphed his main message: that the United States is turning its focus to the booming Asia-Pacific region after a decade of preoccupation with wars in Iraq and Afghanistan.

Ahead of Prime Minister Manmohan Singh's scheduled meeting with US President Barack Obama on Friday at Bali, India today notified rules on nuclear liability. The development is significant as nuclear liability has remained a key point of contention between the two nations over the civil nuclear cooperation deal signed in 2008.
