US Senate launches India caucus

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/business/3672821.stm

A powerful new group has been launched by United States senators to further strengthen ties with India.

The bipartisan Senate India Caucus has an initial 32 members in the 100-strong upper house, including Hillary Clinton.

The leading aims of the caucus are to promote economic ties and strengthen co-operation on terrorism and nuclear proliferation issues.

It will also cover matters affecting Indian Americans, a population thought to number around two million. The group will be co-chaired by Ms Clinton, a Democrat, and Republican Senator John Cornyn.
