NEW DELHI: Indian Foreign Secretary Shivshankar Menon will leave for Washington on Monday to meet the transition team of President-elect Barack Obama.

India would persuade the US to mount pressure on Pakistan to launch a crackdown on terror groups it says exist across the border, a report said.

Mr Menon would meet key members of the transition team who could influence ties between the two countries. India is concerned over the Obama administration’s keen interest in the resolution of Kashmir issue.

Mr Menon’s travel plans coincide with the proposal by Mr Obama to name Senator Hillary Clinton as his secretary of state on Monday.
