US President Barack Obama begins a trade-focused visit to India on Saturday in Mumbai with a sombre tribute to the victims of the 2008 attacks on the mumbai city by Islamic extremists. India's financial hub is Obama's first stop on a four-nation Asia tour which is expected to be heavily weighted towards strengthening ties with fast-growing economies in the thriving region.

The visit to Mumbai will see Obama and his wife Michelle become the most high-profile guests to stay at the Taj Mahal Palace hotel since the attacks two years ago by 10 Islamist militants that claimed 166 lives. Before leaving to Inida he spoke to reporters in the US.
