Aiming to woo the Indian-American community ahead of the ''Super Tuesday'' primaries, Democratic presidential hopeful Hillary Clinton has said she will make America's relations with India among the ''most important'' ones if she enters the Oval office.''I'll reach out to our allies again and work with them to tackle global problems. America's partnership with India will be among the most important,'' the former First Lady said in an opinion piece in India Abroad newspaper.''From globalisation and nuclear proliferation to climate change and terrorism -- India matters more than ever,'' Clinton said.Reminding the community, which has become a powerful voice in domestic politics, that she is no stranger to India, Clinton recalled her visits to the country and reminisced about her meeting with UPA Chairperson Sonia Gandhi and her address to the Rajiv Gandhi Foundation.The Democratic front-runner said she was ''honoured to represent a thriving Indian American community, among the most successful immigrants in our nation's history''.''Our two great democracies must be strategic partners, bound together by shared values and common interests,'' Senator Clinton said. ''As President, I will work with India to make our strong friendship even stronger -- to the benefit of both nations.''
