Washington:
India is a global strategic partner of the United States, the Biden administration said Thursday during a series of high-level exchanges between the two countries.
“Our message to India and about India is consistent. India is a global strategic partner of the United States. The engagements we’ve had with our Indian partners at the ministerial level, at the leadership level, at all levels, have deepened the the already extensive ties between our two countries,” State Department spokesman Ned Price told reporters at a news conference here.
“These are ties of political, diplomatic, economic, security and, most importantly, human-to-human ties,” he said.
There is a vibrant Indian community in this country, he said, adding that there is quite a bit of interest from the US private sector in India, exchange students.
“There are different ways that our two societies are intertwined. So every time we have the opportunity to meet our Indian counterparts, it’s an effort to deepen that already quite extensive global strategic partnership,” Price said.
