'India is top priority'
"The president-elect has made statements to the effect that they will be continuing to strengthen a true strategic partnership with India and he has also described it as his first order priority," said Ronen.

Ronen Sen: Statements to that effect have already been made. There has not been a statement at any level that questions that fact.

"Focus on terrorism and related issue is arising from the recognition of the fact that you are not dealing with an India-Pakistan issue. It is a global threat and it has to be dealt with through global co-operation," said the Ambassador.
