Pitching for increased economic ties between India and America,US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton has called for advanced linkages similar to the existing ones between Manhattan and Mumbai or Boston and Bangalore. Speaking at the US-India Business Council's Synergies Summit in Washington,Clinton also asserted that America would help in contributing to the prosperity of the Indian economy. Interestingly,the statement comes just weeks after President Barack Obama's anti-outsourcing pitch,asking American companies to create more jobs in the US than foreign countries. Unveiling new proposed tax reforms,Obama had said,It's a tax code that says you should pay lower taxes if you create a job in Bangalore,India,than if you create one in Buffalo,New York. Terming the blooming partnerships between the two countries as exciting,Clinton asserted that India's growing economic prowess is recognised the way,the law of gravity is accepted by people. We need bilateral cooperation between our governments to catch up with our people-to-people and economic ties. We need to make sure that the partnership between Washington and New Delhi,our capitals,will be as advanced and fruitful as the linkages that already exist between Manhattan and Mumbai,or Boston and Bangalore, Clinton said on Wednesday.
