Clinton touts prospects for U.S.-India relations

Clinton was due to leave late Thursday for the financial hub of Mumbai




On a visit to India, the worlds second most populous country, U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton touted the prospects for strengthening U.S.-India relations.

On Monday, the two countries concluded a new deal that will grant American companies exclusive rights to sell India civilian nuclear power reactors — a deal that could be worth $10 billion.

But even as that deal was struck, India once again resisted American efforts to limit carbon emissions — a deal India fears would slow its own economy.

Amit Pandya of the The Stimson Center joins Martin Savidge to discuss the Secretary of States visit to India and the state of American-Indian relations.
