US President Barack Obama's visit to India for the country's Republic Day celebrations is a "big development" and Islamabad must "ensure it does not suffer as a new era of US-India relations gets underway", even though "there is an element of playing to the gallery" involved in such visits, leading Pakistani dailies said Sunday.
"Obama's arrival in India in connection with the Republic Day celebrations is a big development," the Daily Times Pakistan said in an editorial.
"A triangular conundrum exists among Pakistan, India and the US. It is the policy of the US to build friendly relations with both India and Pakistan, and not with one at the expense of the other. During the ongoing recession, the huge potential of the Indian economy has become vital for the US."
It said that India is potentially a very big market for the US, whose economy could be lifted out of the doldrums through the sale of weapons to India.
