U.S Secretary of State Hillary Clinton who is on a 3-day visit to India, reached Kolkata today. She is set to meet West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banarjee to pitch for foreign direct investment in retail, which Mamata is strongly opposed to. Hillary is also likely to take up Teesta water treaty between India and Bangladesh, which was sent into cold storage due to Mamata's opposition last year.
Hillary on meeting Mamata is scheduled to hold wide-ranging talks with external affairs minister S M Krishna on Tuesday. The meet assumes significance with the India-US strategic dialogue poised to be held in Washington next month. Though the agenda is yet to be unveiled, sources say that all issues that have a bearing on the India-US relation will be discussed. However, India is likely to seek clarification over confusing remarks by the US envoy to Pakistan over the bounty on 26/11 master mind Hafiz Saeed.
