India and the United States on Monday released a statement of their
shared intent - called "Chalein saath, saath" - to forge a partnership
that will be a model for the rest of the world.
The statement was issued as Prime Minister Narendra Modi arrived at the White House for a dinner hosted by President Barack Obama.
"We have a vision that the United States and India will have a
transformative relationship as trusted partners in the 21st century,"
said the paper, "Chalein Saath Saath: Forward Together We Go".
It read a bit like a joint statement, but was minus the officialese of one and, crucially, came ahead of the talks, instead of after, as the densely worded documents do typically.
"As leaders of two great democratic nations with diverse traditions and faiths, we share a vision for a partnership in which the United States and India work together, not just for the benefit of both our nations, but for the benefit of the world," the statement said.
"Together, we will combat terrorist threats and keep our homelands and citizens safe from attacks, while we respond expeditiously to humanitarian disasters and crises, it added.
Modi met Obama, Vice President Joe Biden and other key US officials at the White House for a private dinner, ahead of formal talks in the Oval Office on Tuesday.
