US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton is at session at the La Martiniere School for Girls meeting.  The highlights of what the US Secretary of State said at the session:

This is very exciting for me to have this chance to back in this wonderful city after so many years. I was last here in 1995 honouring the work of Mother Teresa. The relationship between our two democracies is going to define the kind of future we have. Increasingly also, our strategic interests are aligned. India is taking on more responsibilities which is good news.

India's 'look-east' policy will be central to the growth of the whole Asia-pacific region. India stands in a strong position to help the people of Burma as they navigate their way through economic and political reforms.

Heart of India-Us relations is the people-to-people relationships. I discovered Tagore in college and have been a fan ever since. I have probably been asked everything in my long and public life. So please feel free to ask me anything...
