"America is very clear that they have to keep their engagement with China very strong, but the message (to us) is do not worry, it is not at the cost of India," Bharti Enterprises Chairman Sunil Mittal, who is leading a visiting CII delegation of Indian CEOs, said after meeting with top officials of the Obama Administration on Wednesday.

"The relationship with India on a bilateral basis would be strengthened as we go forward," he said. "Overall we are very happy with the meetings," Mittal said.

The delegation held meetings with the State Department and the White House, besides meeting the US corporate leadership, policy makers and think tanks.

"China and India are seen as two engines of growth, and should continue to grow," Mittal said referring to his meetings.
