"US, India have good potential, steady common balance," says Expert
New Delhi [India], May 24 (ANI): Foreign Affairs expert Robinder Sachdev said that the visit of US Secretary of State Marco Rubio has been at an important turn of the India-US relations.
Sachdev, in a conversation with ANI, said that both nations have an extremely good potential and a very steady common balance.
He said, "The visit of Marco Rubio is definitely a very important visit at a very important time, and when many important issues are outstanding between the US and India on a bilateral basis. The last year has unfortunately been the lowest and the worst of US-India relations in the past 25 years. In the past, we also had ups and downs on many issues and topics, policy differences, and disputes. But the last year has taken the cake in terms of being a chaotic year in India- America relations."
He added, "Of course, the fact is that the two nations have an extremely good potential and a very steady common balance. The differences of last year need to be repaired or rejuvenated now. So Rubio's first top mandate, I would think, for this visit is to bring relations with India on an even and stable keel with a common minimum program so that both nations can move past the differences of the last year."
Meanwhile, US Ambassador to India, Sergio Gor, said that the new Support Annex Building reflects their commitment to serving the American and Indian people more effectively.
"I was honored to join US Secretary of State Marco Rubio at the dedication ceremony for our new Support Annex Building, which will house our management and consular sections in New Delhi. This modern facility reflects our commitment to serving the American and Indian people more effectively, while supporting the enduring strength of the U.S.-India partnership."
