Global crisis: US invites PM for summit

The White House announced on Wednesday that President George W Bush will invite Prime Minister Manmohan Singh and the other leaders of the G-20 countries for a major White House Summit to discuss the Wall Street meltdown.

During their meeting on September 26 at the White House Oval Office and thereafter over dinner, the financial crisis was among the issues that permeated the discussions between Bush and Prime Minister Singh, even though the Indo-US nuclear deal, which was not signed at that time, was the top priority of the discussions.
