WASHINGTON, NOV 9: Setting an ambitious agenda for himself in the new millennium, US President Bill Clinton has identified several priority areas, including easing India-Pak ties, that would engage his attention for the coming year.
Speaking at Georgetown University on the 10th anniversary of the fall of the Berlin wall yesterday, Clinton also identified a host of other areas such as the West Asian peace process, Russia and Chechnya that rank high on his agenda. ``In the coming year, we have an ambitious agenda that deserves bipartisan support. We have about 100 days to meet the ambitious timetable the leaders of West Asia have set for themselves to achieve a framework agreement.
``We have to secure peace in the Balkans. We have to ease tension between India and Pakistan. We have to help Russia stabilise its economy, resolve the Chechnya conflict, and cheer them''.
