Biden will focus on trade, security in India trip

NEW DELHI (AP)—U.S. Vice President Joe Biden arrived in India today on a trip that will focus on boosting trade and regional security ties and strengthening a strategic partnership that has languished in recent years. Biden’s four-day visit, which will include a meeting with Prime Minister Manmohan Singh, is viewed as a major step in promoting President Barack Obama’s focus on forging strong partnerships in the Asia-Pacific region aimed at counterbalancing China’s power.
