New Delhi: As he prepares to meet President Barack Obama in Washington, Prime Minister Manmohan Singh today said a "sustained and dynamic" Indo-US partnership is essential to meet major global challenges like international terrorism, climate change and economic slowdown.
 
Singh, who will hold wide-ranging talks with Obama on Tuesday, said India attaches "high priority" to its relations with the US which is today characterized by "greater maturity, depth and convergence of interests".
 
In a departure statement, Singh said he looked forward to building upon this momentum during the nine-day visit that would also take him to Trinidad and Tobago for the Commonwealth Heads of Government Meeting (CHOGM).
 
"The last several years have witnessed a transformation in India-US relations", he said.
 
Singh, the first foreign leader to be hosted as state guest by the 10-month-old Obama Administration, has a hectic schedule during his four-day stay in Washington.
 
His engagements include addressing the Senate foreign relations committee and business leaders of the two countries besides receiving some top US officials. (PTI)
