"I was struck and so were the American people that the Indian Air Force delivered hurricane Katrina aid to an air force base in Little Rock Arkansas," Bush said in a joint press conference with Prime Minister Manmohan Singh here after bilateral talks.
"And for that Mr Prime Minister I thank you," the President said.
Observing that the two countries were cooperating on the military front, Bush said India and the US worked as partners in responding to the tsunami.
