India an important partner for us: US

Washington: The United States on Friday said India is an important partner for it and there would be much more "fruitful cooperation" between the two countries in coming days.

"We have a very good, broad, substantive relationship with India on a wide range of fronts. India's an important partner for us, not only in terms of trade but in terms of our overall diplomatic agenda," State Department acting spokesman Robert Wood said.

"I think you can look forward to much more fruitful days of cooperation between the United States and India," Wood said at his daily press briefing.

At the same time, he said there are challenges which both countries face, including terrorism.  "But I think you'll find that both the President and the Secretary (of State) are committed to this relationship very deeply and strongly," he said.

Refraining from going into details, he added the US has very strong and fruitful counter-terrorism cooperation with India.
