Washington: US Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice will travel to India on Wednesday at the request of President George W. Bush, the White House said.

"Secretary Rice's visit to India is a further demonstration of the United States' commitment to stand in solidarity with the people of India as we all work together to hold these extremists accountable," White House spokeswoman Dana Perino said in a statement.

Bush said on Saturday he has been closely monitoring developments in India in the wake of militant attacks on Mumbai.

Rice will arrive in New Delhi on Wednesday after attending a Nato meeting in London on Tuesday.
