Prime Minister Manmohan Singh on Tuesday embarked on a visit to London where he will discuss with US President Barack Obama, during their first meeting, the problem of terror emanating from Pakistan and ways to deal with it.
The Manmohan-Obama meeting will have a lot of expectations but both sides will be acutely aware that Indian elections are nigh. This means while a `personal chemistry’ between the two men will be sought keenly, both sides will want to keep some space for the next Indian prime minister to work out his/her own relationship with Obama that is independent of the Singh factor.
