Even as India and the US are forging a strategic partnership and working hand in hand in the Asia Pacific region, there is no convergence of views

between the two countries on Pakistan, a group of Indian experts said today.

The group of experts, comprising of several retired top military officers and diplomats from the New Delhi-based Vivekananda International Foundation, also rued that the United States is the not paying enough attention to India's interest in the region, be it the border disputes with China or terrorism emanating from Pakistan.

"We have a convergence of a vision (in our relationship). It is more pronounced in Asia Pacific region. But westward there is dissimilarities when it comes to Pakistan and Afghanistan. Pakistan is the hub of terrorism in the world," Gen (rtd) N C Vij, director VIF, said in his address to the Atlantic Council, a top American think-tank.
