In Washington, US President Barack Obama hosted a high-level dinner in honour of India's Prime Minister Manmohan Singh on Tuesday.
 
It followed talks between the two leaders earlier in the day during which they covered issues ranging from the India-US civilian nuclear deal, to climate change and the global economy.
 
It's not an official state visit, of course, because Mr Singh is not head of his state - that would be the Indian president - but you'd never know here in DC.
