Outgoing US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton on Tuesday praised efforts led by President Asif Ali Zardari and Indian Prime Minister Manmohan Singh for improving the environment between the two South Asian countries. “I also think that the efforts that both, Prime Minister Singh and President Zardari in Pakistan have made to improve communication, business, trade, commerce between India and Pakistan helps to create a more receptive environment for dealing with these serious threats,” she said, while commenting on efforts to curb terrorism in the region. Clinton called the fight against terror an “unfinished business” and that the United States is “not in any way walking away from” it. “I’m leaving office, but I can assure you and the Indian people this remains one of our very highest priorities,” she said.
