'Tensions in Pakistan have no impact on Obama's India trip'

The recent developments in Pakistan, in terms of deterioration of the security situation or the visible flare of tension between New Delhi and Islamabad have no impact, whatsoever, on India trip of US President Barack Obama in November, the White House has said.

“They don’t have any impact on that that I’m aware of,” said White House Press Secretary Robert Gibbs responding to a question if the tensions in Pakistan have any potential effect on the pace or specifics of the India trip.

“He is involved in a series of regular meetings on that (India trip). I don’t know that there have been a series pull-out meetings especially yet for that trip as we’re still a few weeks away,” he said.

The sixth ever president of the United States to visit India, Obama is expected to land in the south Asian country soon after the mid-term elections in early November.
