She will also attend a breakfast meeting with around 10 of Mumbai's top names in the corporate world, including Mukesh Ambani, Swati Piramal, Jamshyd Godrej, Chanda Kochhar. No agenda has been fixed for the meeting.

Her visit would focus on starting the Phase III of the India-US strategic partnership and give a fillip to the civil nuclear and defence ties between the two countries.

Invigorating people-to-people contacts is a major focus of Clinton's visit.

She will interact with volunteers of the Self Employed Women's Association (SEWA), an NGO, and a social event that will be attended by, among others, film star Aamir Khan. She plans to visit St. Xavier's College in Mumbai Saturday.

All the scheduled engagements of Clinton will begin Saturday morning. She has no official meetings scheduled with any leaders or officials of the state government, according to the sources.

'The visiting dignitary shall be accorded all the due protocol courtesies. We are also coordinating the security arrangements for her along with the US authorities. All her other engagements in Mumbai are of a private nature in which the state government is not involved in any manner,' said a top state government official.

Clinton will fly to New Delhi Sunday afternoon. She will call on Prime Minister Manmohan Singh and hold talks with her counterpart, External Affairs Minister S.M. Krishna in New Delhi Monday.
