CIA chief meets top Indian official

NEW DELHI, Nov. 21 (Xinhua) -- Visiting chief of the United States Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) （(美国)中央情报局 ）Leon Panetta Saturday met Indian National Security Advisor¹ M.K. Narayanan here to discuss terrorism in Pakistan and Afghanistan and its impact on India and South Asia, highly placed government sources said on Saturday.
    Panetta, who arrived in the Indian national capital late Friday night after his visit to Pakistan, had a 30-minute meeting with Narayanan.

    "Panetta is known to have expressed America's aim of the sharing India-centric real time intelligence（n. 智力,聪明,理解力;情报,谍报;信息） between the CIA and Indian intelligence, apart from discussing issues relating to the presence of terror groups in neighboring Pakistan and Afghanistan and its impact on India and South Asia," the sources said.

    Narayanan himself along with the members of the Joint² Intelligence Committee of the Government of India, was in Washington D.C. last month, and the CIA boss's visit to India is part of the same process of holding high-level meetings to cement ties on the sharing of India-centric intelligence information, the sources said.

    The visiting American intelligence chief will also meet with his Indian counterpart Research and Analysis Wing head K.C. Verma and the Indian Intelligence Bureau chief Rajeev Mathur during his three-day visit to India.（本文由在线英语听力室整理编辑）
