'Close cooperation with India on cyber security issues'

Washington, May 19 (PTI) The United States is having close co-operation with India on a range of issues related to cyber security and the country wants to expand it, a US official has said. "We have had great cooperation with India. We've had many meetings with Indian officials in various different fora, including at the White House level," Christopher Painter, the State Department Co-coordinator for Cyber Issues, told a group of foreign journalists in a media roundtable."I think we have lots more meetings coming up. I think we have very good cooperation with India, and that's something we want to build on and expand," he said in response to a question.
Talks with India, he said, are just a reflection of the fact that they are talking about how to exchange information, cooperate in securing networks, for instance, in fighting crime, in reaching agreement about these norms.
