Bush: U.S., India Have Close Relationship


Bush rolled out full pomp and pagentry for Singh's visit, with a wigged fife and drum corps marching across the South Lawn. The two leaders walked side-by-side and inspected a long line of troops in dress uniform.

''I'm confident from our talks today will emerge an agenda of cooperation that reflects a real transformation of our relationship,'' Singh said.
