US President Barack Obama would meet Prime Minister Manmohan Singh on the sidelines of the G-20 Summit in Toronto, a top Indian official said Wednesday. "The Prime Minister would be traveling for the G-20, he will be meeting President Obama," Union Minister of Commerce and Industry Anand Sharma told Indian media-persons in Washington. This would be the first meeting between the two leaders after Nuclear Security Summit in Washington in April. The meeting would also give Obama and Singh an opportunity to review the series of high level talks between the top officials of the two countries including the first ever Cabinet-level Indo-US Strategic Dialogue.
Reconstituted by Obama and Singh in November last year, the Indo-US CEOs Forum had its second meeting on Wednesday. Sharma along with Union Finance Minister Pranab Mukherjee were in Washington to attend this meeting. They also held bilateral talks with their American counterparts. "President Obama will be visiting India late autumn and we are looking forward to his visit," Sharma said. Meanwhile, State Department
