The US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton's will visit India to hold talks with senior Indian leaders including Prime Minister Manmohan Singh, Press TV reported.
Her four-day visit will begin in Mumbai on Friday. Clinton will arrive in New Delhi on Sunday where she will discuss sensitive matters with Indian officials.
The foundations for the India-US strategic partnership were laid during the Bush administration, which lifted a three-decade ban on the sale of civil nuclear technology to New Delhi -- although India is not a signatory to the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT).
Given the current situation in South Asia, the assistant Secretary of State for South and Central Asia, Robert Blake, said that Pakistan will be a subject of discussion when Clinton meets with the Indian leaders.
He appreciated the recent meetings between the leaders of India and Pakistan in Sharm el-Sheikh, Egypt, where the Non-Aligned Summit (NAM) is underway.
Clinton will visit Thailand after wrapping up her India trip, and has announced that she will be going to Pakistan in the fall.
