New Delhi: Pakistan will continue to receive American aid and India just has to live with the fact, US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton told Delhi University students on Monday.
“I have seen a real will on the part of the Pakistan government to tackle terrorism. It is their government which is being attacked and people who are being mistreated,” said Clinton at a select gathering of students and professors amidst tight security. “We have to support those who are fighting extremism, that's our first priority.”
Clinton acknowledged India's growing stature and said the world is wants to know where the country is headed to. "Military strength does not define greatness of nation... Soft powers are more appealing," she said.
Clinton arrived in the national capital on Sunday afternoon. She visited the ITC Greens building in the satellite town of Gurgaon for a programme on climate change and later the National Agricultural Science Centre (NASC) on Pusa Road.
After her Delhi University visit, Clinton is to meet Prime Minister Manmohan Singh, Congress president Sonia Gandhi, Bharatiya Janata Party leader L.K. Advani, External Affairs Minister S.M. Krishna among other leaders.
Clinton last visited the Indian capital in 2000 when she accompanied her husband, then president Bill Clinton, and they stayed at the Maurya Sheraton Hotel.
