We discussed back in December in Paris that India was going to play an important role in making important commitments to this agreement that would ensure that the world came together to confront this challenge,"

Josh said revealing the seventh meeting of  the two leaders, "I would expect the US and India to discuss the economic ties between our two countries. The economic relationship between the two countries is an important one. It is a relationship that benefits both our citizens. So I would anticipate a discussion of some economic issues,"

"What I don't know is the process that India has to go through in order to ratify the agreement. So I don't know whether or not the President will be making that specific request," he said.

Earnest said , "But the role that India has played thus far in helping the international committee come to an agreement has been significant, and we obviously would expect India moving forward to continue to play an important role in the international community in making progress, even beyond the agreement that was signed, or that was reached back in December”.
