US President George Bush called Prime Minister Manmohan Singh Monday evening to discuss the ongoing negotiations on bilateral civil nuclear cooperation pact and invited him to Washington - a strong indication the two sides are close to clinching the 123 pact.

In tune with the newly forged strategic partnership that has the civil nuclear cooperation deal as its centerpiece, the two leaders discussed a broad array of global and regional issues, including the G-8 summit in Germany next month, climate change and the urgent need to conclude the Doha round of multilateral trade negotiations.

''The two leaders expressed happiness at the strengthening of the bilateral relations and reviewed developments pertaining to negotiations on bilateral civil nuclear cooperation,'' the Prime Minister's Office said in a statement.

''The president invited the prime minister to visit the US again. The prime minister accepted the invitation and said mutually convenient dates will be worked out,'' the statement added.
