New Delhi:
Prime Minister Manmohan Singh Monday said partnership between
India and the US on education held "great promise" as no other
countries were "better equipped to be partners in building the
knowledge economy of the future".
"Cooperation in the field of education holds great promise because
no two other countries are better equipped to be partners in
building the knowledge economy of the future," the prime minister
said in his opening remarks at a joint press conference with US
President Barack Obama at the Hyderabad House.
Nearly 100,000 Indian students are studying in various American
institutes in the US.
Manmohan Singh announced that the two countries would hold a
higher education summit next year. This year, a three-day summit
was organised in July in Mumbai.
"The US is one of our largest trading partners. Our trade is
balanced and growing. India is among the fastest growing sources
of investment in the US. Indian investments have helped to
increase the competitiveness of the US economy.
"We welcome increased US investments and high technology flow in
key sectors of our economy...," he added.
