Mumbai, India (CNN) -- U.S. President Barack Obama struck a defiant tone in the first speech of his trip to India, saying Saturday that his stay at the Mumbai hotel attacked by terrorists two years ago is "absolutely" intended to send a message.
"We visit here to send a very clear message that, in our determination to give our people a future of security and prosperity, the United States and India stand united," Obama said at Mumbai's famous Taj Mahal Palace hotel, which came under siege in November 2008.
A few hours later, as the president spoke with business leaders in Mumbai, the White House showcased a list of trade deals negotiated with India that will net both money and jobs for U.S. businesses.
The deals include a $4.1 billion agreement for the Indian air force to purchase 10 C-17 military transport planes from Boeing, which the White House said will support more than 22,000 jobs and is a further example of the expanding American partnership with India.
The attacks two years ago killed 164 people, including more than 30 staff members and guests at the Taj, and Obama's commemoration of them during his first event here underlined the importance that the United States is placing on boosting collaboration with India.
"We'll never forget how the world, including the American people, watched and grieved with all of India," Obama said. "But the resolve and the resilience of the Indian people during those attacks stood in stark contrast to the savagery of the terrorists. The murderers came to kill innocent civilians that day, but those of you here risked everything to save human life."
Just before the speech, Obama and his wife, Michelle, signed a memorial guestbook for the victims. In his message, Obama wrote about eradicating the "scourge" of terrorism and affirming "our lasting friendship with the Indian people."
The 2008 attacks, blamed on Pakistani-based militants, derailed a fragile peace process between New Delhi and Islamabad.
Under U.S. pressure, the two nuclear-capable states held talks this year in an attempt to resume their fully fledged dialogue, but progress has been slow.
Mumbai is India's financial hub, and talks on business and trade were also a focus of Obama's three days here. Hundreds of American business leaders and chief executives traveled to Mumbai with the president.
U.S. Commerce Secretary Gary Locke, Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack, and Rajiv Shah, the head of USAID, the government's foreign aid agency, joined Obama for a meeting later with entrepreneurs.
It was the list of trade deals, however, that was likely to make the biggest impact back home in the United States, where there has been concern that much of the job creation for U.S. companies has happened overseas.
Boeing said the C-17 deal with India will support 650 suppliers in U.S. 44 states and support the company's own C-17 production facility in Long Beach, California, for an entire year.
Other deals announced Saturday include a contract for General Electric to profide the Indian Aeronautical Development Agency with 107 F414 engines for the Tejas light-combat aircraft, a deal worth $822 million and supporting 4,440 jobs, the White House said.
Harley-Davidson Motor Company announced it is opening a new plant in India for the assembly of its motorcycles from U.S.-built kits. Besides job creation in both countries, the deal will allow the company to reduce the tariff on its bikes for sale in India, thus driving sales growth for the Wisconsin-based firm.
Boeing also signed a deal to sell 30 of its B737-800 commercial aircraft to SpiceJet, a leading private airline in India. The deal is valued at $2.7 billion and supports nearly 13,000 jobs, the White House said.
Obama's three-day visit to India, Asia's third largest economy and one of the world's few growth markets, also includes meeting with Indian Prime Minister Manmohan Singh in New Delhi and addressing the nation's parliament.
"The simple truth is that India's rise, and its strength and progress on the global stage, is deeply in the strategic interest of the United States," said William Burns, under-secretary at the U.S. State Department, during a briefing on Obama's trip.
Obama's visit can also help balance regional geopolitics in the face of what is now seen as an increasingly assertive China, said Uday Bhaskar, director of the National Maritime Foundation in New Delhi.
The Chinese and Indian prime ministers met in October in a bid to ease growing tensions despite flourishing trade between the two neighbors.
China's support to Pakistan, India's accommodation of the exiled Tibetan leader, the Dalai Lama, and a decades-old border dispute between the two sides are points of friction as the economic powerhouses jockey for influence in the region.
After India, Obama travels to Indonesia, then on to the G-20 meeting in South Korea and APEC (Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation) in Japan.

In an address to several hundred American and Indian executives in this historic trading port, Obama said he would make "fundamental reforms" to the export controls that guide trade between the two countries. Administration officials said those include removing several Indian space and defense companies from the entities list, which identifies firms that manufacture products with dual civilian and military purposes and makes it more difficult for them to trade with the United States.
Obama also informed Indian officials that he will support the country's membership to four international alliances responsible for regulating trade in nuclear, chemical, biological and missile technology and materials, including the Nuclear Suppliers Group. Indian leaders have aspired to join, but U.S. nonproliferation groups immediately criticized the move for weakening the world's ability to monitor nuclear trade.
"I'm here because I believe that in our interconnected world, increased commerce between the United States and India can be and will be a win-win proposition for both nations," Obama told the U.S.-India Business Council, drawing applause. "I realize that for some, this truth may not be readily apparent."
Recalling an issue from the midterm campaign trail, Obama said that "there are many Americans whose only experience with trade and globalization has been a shuttered factory or a job that was shipped overseas."
"There still exists a caricature of India as a land of call centers and back offices that cost American jobs," he said. "But these old stereotypes, these old concerns ignore today's reality."
Obama's remarks placed the U.S economy at the center of his first extended foreign trip this year, and highlighted the political challenge he faces in promoting economic policies abroad that divide Americans at home, including many within his own party.
He arrived in India's commercial capital at the end of a week when U.S. voters punished Democrats - and by extension his administration - for failing to move quickly enough to create jobs during a still-staggering recovery.
But his three-day stay in India also follows months of complaint from its leaders, who fear that a relationship that thrived under the previous administration has stagnated under this one. He plans to speak throughout his 10-day trip to four Asian nations about how his foreign policy goals relate directly to U.S. economic interests at home.
To underscore the point, Obama alluded in his speech to a set of newly consummated export contracts, some in the works for months, between American companies and the Indian government and private firms. Administration officials said the deals - including the sale of military transport aircraft, civilian airplanes, mining equipment and jet engines - are worth $10 billion and support 54,000 jobs in the United States.
"A president's visit is an action-forcing event," said Michael Froman, deputy national security adviser for international economic affairs. "It helps concentrate the minds of decision makers."
The jobs equation
Ahead of his arrival, a group of American chief executives here for Obama's visit sought to dispel concerns that India, a fast-growing economy of 1.2 billion people, takes more U.S. jobs than it is likely to generate. |||||
Summary:
Answer: During his trip to India, former US President Barack Obama addressed the importance of a strong partnership between the United States and India. Following the devastating terrorist attacks on Mumbai's Taj Mahal Palace hotel in 2008, Obama's stay at the hotel sought to convey a message that both nations stand united in their determination to give their people a future of security and prosperity.
Business and trade efforts were a significant focus during Obama's visit, with various trade deals negotiated between the US and India, which would benefit both nations monetarily and through job creation. A notable deal involved the Indian Air Force purchasing 10 C-17 military transport planes from Boeing for $4.1 billion, supporting over 22,000 jobs.
Other deals announced during Obama's visit included General Electric providing the Indian Aeronautical Development Agency with 107 F414 engines for the Tejas light-combat aircraft, a $822 million deal supporting 4,440 US jobs. Furthermore, Harley-Davidson Motor Company opened a new plant in India for the assembly of motorcycles from US-built kits, creating jobs in both India and the US, while reducing the tariff on motorcycles for sale in India. Lastly, Boeing signed a deal to sell 30 B737-800 commercial aircraft to India's SpiceJet airline, worth $2.7 billion and supporting nearly 13,000 jobs.
As well as these trade deals, Obama's trip encompassed meetings with Indian Prime Minister Manmohan Singh and his address to India's parliament. The US's economy and job sectors benefited from the trade deals negotiated during Obama's time in India, which have helped forge a stronger partnership between the two nations.
