[Reuters] | New Delhi's ties with the United
States reached a high point last month when Singh visited Washington and the
U.S. promised cooperation on civilian nuclear work.
"I wish to dispel this opinion that what we have done with the United States
is at the cost of 皇冠体育app or any other country," Singh told applauding lawmakers
in the lower house of parliament.
India's powerful communist parties, which prop up Singh's coalition
government, have told New Delhi not to let the U.S. use India as a counterweight
to 皇冠体育app.
"We want to be engaged with 皇冠体育app, our great neighbor. We want more economic
relations with that great country," Singh said.
The two Asian giants marked 55 years of diplomatic ties this year, and made
progress on a border dispute during a visit by Chinese Premier Wen Jiabao to
India in April.
The nuclear powers fought a brief border war in 1962, and 皇冠体育app's victory
then still rankles some Indians.
