New Delhi: Finance Minister Pranab Mukherjee today said the U.S. remains a prime source of investment and an important trading partner for India. "Economic policy, finance and trade constitute important planks of our bilateral relations. For us, the U.S. remains a prime source of investment, technology and an important trading partner," Mukherjee said while addressing a Indo-U.S. CEOs forum meeting here. The meeting has been organised against the backdrop of the visit of U.S. President Barack Obama. "As we make efforts to increase investment in infrastructure, and give a fresh impetus to the manufacturing sector, the importance of our partnership with the U.S. will increase," Mukherjee said. This mutually beneficial engagement would stimulate innovation, spur job creation, and promote sustainable and inclusive growth in both countries, he added.
