Hillary Clinton's visit to India: Itenary remains same

The United States on Thursday ruled out any change in Secretary of State Hillary Clinton's itinerary during her visit to India next week due to serial blasts in Mumbai.

"Stays as it is planned.....Nothing is going to change due to Mumbai blasts," said US Charge d'Affairs Peter Burleigh.

She will arrive in Delhi on Monday for the second round of Indo-US strategic dialogue. The Secretary of State will also travel to Chennai and will attend a public function there.

Strongly condemning the Mumbai terror attacks, Burleigh reiterated his country's commitment towards the bilateral relationship and stressed that his country will stand "shoulder to shoulder" with India in combating terrorism.

The US has offered every possible assistance to India in the wake of Wednesday's terror attacks.

At least 18 people were killed and 81 injured in three blasts that rocked Mumbai last evening.
