Asserted that now there is a strategic convergence that developed between the United States and India, State Secretary Antony Blinken said New Delhi built his partnership with Moscow because of the need because the US was not in a position to do that before.
“In the case of India, there is a relationship that returns several decades. And Russia, for India, there is no need to be a choice partner when we are not in a position to become partners, “he told parliament members on Wednesday.”Now, we invest in that effort. I think there is a strategic convergence that developed between the United States and India, “Blinken said.
“And of course, China is a big part of it,” Blinken said in response to the question of Senator William Hagerty during the congress session by the Senate Allocation Subcommittee on the State, Foreign Operations.Hagerty has been looking for Blinken’s view of India-As relations.”What I see in front of us is something that I am sure that is very frustrated in the short term when we have differences and you face it every day,” Hagerty said.
“But in the long run, our strategic partnership with India I think has the opportunity to do more good things in the 21st century,” he said.Blinken in response said he was very sharing the perspective shared by Senator.”I think this partnership has the potential to be one of the most important and basic partnerships that we have advanced over the next few decades,” he said.
Blinken said US President Joe Biden had spent “a lot of time involved with Prime Minister Modi and Indian leadership”.”We have given energy to quads that unite India with Australia and Japan and the US. This has become a very important vehicle to strengthen our collaboration in various fields with India, “he said.
“What’s interesting is that this is a moment of strategic inflexion, what I mean is this. A number of countries now divert some of their relationships and some of their interests, especially when they come to their relations with Russia, “added American Diplomat.
