PTIWashington: President Barack Obama is looking forward to speak to Prime Minister Manmohan Singh as soon as he gets well.
Obama spokesman Robert Gibbs told reporters at the White House on Wednesday said in his message on India's Republic Day, Obama had wished Singh speedy recovery.
Asked about relationship between the US and India under the Obama Administration, Gibbs said: "Without getting into a lot of specifics, I think that the President believes that, obviously, the US and India are natural friends and natural allies,"
Obama also said the Indian people "should know that they have no better friend and partner than the people of the US".
Noting that the two "nations have built broad and vibrant partnerships in every field of human endeavour," he then said: "It is our shared values that form the bedrock of a robust relationship across peoples and governments."
"Those values and ideals provide the strength that enables us to meet any challenge, particularly from those who use violence to try to undermine our free and open societies," he added.
