President Bush urged India on Wednesday to separate its civilian and military nuclear programs and assure the world that it will be a good steward of nuclear material needed to fuel its fast-growing economy.

In previewing his upcoming trip to the country, Bush also said Americans should not fear U.S. jobs going to India. If American companies are competitive, that will translate into more jobs for U.S. workers and farmers, he said.

The president, who also is visiting Pakistan early next month, also called for an end to violent protests there over the publication of cartoons of Prophet Muhammad.

Bush spoke of growing ties between India and the United States on agriculture, economic and energy, specifically the landmark agreement to share civilian nuclear technology that Bush and Indian Prime Minister Manmohan Singh announced in July 2005.
