WASHINGTON, The following is a transcript of
remarks by President Bush and Prime Minister Manmohan
Singh of India:
Mughal Garden
Hyderabad House
12:26 P. (Local)
PRIME MINISTER SINGH: Shall I start?
PRESIDENT BUSH: Please.
I'm particularly
pleased that we have reached an understanding on the
implementation of our agreement on civil nuclear
cooperation of July 18, 2005. We're partners in expanding
global trade. And as a result of your
leadership, and our hard work, we are
opening up markets. Trade is important
to help nations
develop ways forward, help nations overcome poverty. It's not an easy job for the Prime Minister to
achieve this
agreement, I understand.
PRIME MINISTER SINGH: It's a great honor, Mr.
That phase has been successfully completed. And so our position
is, let's make sure reform overall
moves forward, as we think about the best
way to reform the Security Council. What can you tell
us about this? Will this impact your
trip, your visit to that country? And how does this speak
to Pakistan, or
even Musharraf's ability to contain terrorists?
PRESIDENT BUSH: First
of all, I've been briefed on the bombings. People -- these terrorists will
kill innocent life just
like that. And so it
requires a different response. And so, to the extent that we can
reduce
demand for fossil fuels, it will help the American consumer. And it's difficult for the American President
to sell to our
Congress, because some people just don't want to change and change with the
times
.enlarged muktinath
This is a highly ambitious agenda, one that is befitting our
growing strategic partnership. The
United States is India's largest trading partner, and India
is one of the United States' fastest
growing export markets. Trade is important for our peoples. And you have also said many times that
our strategic
partnership is based on common values, shared values.
And so we're open
-minded and we're listening. You can't
negotiate with them, you can't reason with them. Increasing
demand for oil from
America, from India and China, relative to a supply that's not keeping up with
demand, causes our fuel prices to go up. But this agreement is in our interests, and
therefore
, Jim, I'm confident we can sell this to our Congress as in the
interest of the United States, and
at the same time make it clear that there's
a way forward for other nations to participate in a
-- in civilian nuclear
power in such a way as to address nonproliferation concerns.buddha incl
President, now
to make your remarks. It's a joy to
be here. I particularly want to thank
the Indian people
and the Indian government for supporting the new democracy
in the neighborhood, and that being the
democracy in Afghanistan, where you've
pledged $565 million in reconstruction aid, plus $50 million
for the new
national assembly building.
On trade and investment, ties are growing. That
's one of
the reasons we met with the CEOs today, is to how to further trade and how to
further
commerce and how to further opportunities. Listen, the whole purpose of the advanced energy initiative
is to end our dependence on oil, and as we develop technologies that will
enable us to do so,
we look forward to working with India so we can achieve
the same objectives. And I thank the Prime
Minister for working with me to advance this relationship in such a way that
we can define our
previous meetings and today's meeting as historic in nature. One, we support
United Nations Security
Council reform, and we're interested in different ways
to reform the United Nations Security Council
. There are reports of multiple
bombings out of Karachi, Pakistan, outside of the U.
Q First, on the nuclear deal, how do you plan to sell the agreement to
a very powerful nonproliferation
lobby in Washington which has opposed the
deal? And second, on the issue of terrorism, in the context
of today's bomb
blasts in Karachi, how do you propose to work with India on terrorism,
considering
India considers that the epicenter of terrorism is in Pakistan?
PRESIDENT BUSH: Well, one
way we work together on terrorism is to make
sure intelligence services share information. We didn
't have much of a
relationship.
END 12:55 P.manichaeism gained
The joint statement that will
be shared with
all of you today contains a number of announcements and initiatives that
underline
the significant progress in our relationship. And I was particularly pleased
that we agreed on the
need to root out terrorism, of which India has been a
major victim.S. Prime Minister, thank you.
I'm looking
forward to working with you. President, I have a question for you, too, sir. Sir, then
why the
largest democracy of the world is reluctant or not forthcoming to support --
the oldest
democracy of the world is not supporting the largest democracy of
the world to have a permanent membership
of the United Nations Security
Council? This is an issue India would like to hear from you more
, sir. Now it is for the
United States to go to the Congress for necessary amendments in U. Thank
you, Mr.
And my resolve has never been stronger about protecting our own people by
working
with other nations, to answer the call to history and the call to
history now is to stand strong
in the face of these terrorist attacks. First --
