Fresh from the success of limiting the span and reach of the global financial crisis, the US Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner will discuss economic stability, financial investment and building up infrastructure with Indian officials when he visits India next week, a US official says.
Geithner will meet with Indian Prime Minister Manmohan Singh and take part in the first meeting of a new US-Indian economic panel in the capital New Delhi and also will visit Mumbai, the financial center, a senior Treasury Department official said today.
The vice chairman of the Federal Reserve, Donald Kohn, also will be on the trip. The April 6-7 visit is part of a US effort to deepen the relationship with India, the world’s largest democracy and most stable US ally in a hostile corner of the globe.
