The United State and India Partnership New Era
Providing More Strength India - Pacific More stable balance of power prospects, India - Pacific is the most dynamic economy in the world, stretching from the east coast of Africa to the west coast of the American continent.
India is expected to have the largest population in the world in the middle of the next decade. With economic growth above 7%, India is the fastest growing major economy, surpassing China. It is now the sixth largest economy and is expected to become the third largest economy by 2030 and the second largest economy by 2050. In addition, the Indian army is the third largest army in the world and its capabilities are steadily improving.
The United States must revitalize its relationship with India and restore its vitality and sense of purpose. The rise of India is one of the most important geopolitical developments of the 21st century. With intelligent policies, the United States may become one of the biggest beneficiaries of India's legal status as a leading global force. However, based on the erroneous assumption that strategic partnerships will flourish on their own, Indian policy development on self-leadership may lead to the loss of historical opportunities.
Stronger India provides a more stable balance in India - Pacific - The Pacific is the most dynamic region in the world, extending from the east coast of Africa to the west coast of the Americas. The model of democratic development in India stands in stark contrast to China's tyranny in emerging countries in Africa and elsewhere. He has steadily risen to the ranks of the great powers, and has made a strong and powerful voice and shared our core values with us.
As the largest and oldest democracy in the world, the United States and India began their constitutions in the same three words: "We the people". Our country has diversity. When all citizens - men, women, religions, minorities, people historically deprived - have successful means, we are at their best; when there are inequality and division, we suffer. As in the United States, India is aware of its shortcomings, yet it remains insurmountable or even impossible to maintain its commitment to democratic institutions that spread power among various government departments and ensure federal structures. National rights in China. Basic personal rights are enshrined in its Constitution.
However, despite our common values, the relationship between the United States and India began late and declined due to tensions that kept tensions for most of the Cold War. This warming relationship began even after the collapse of the Soviet Union in 1998 after the Indian nuclear tests set a temporary setback, successive governments of India and the United States made a strategic decision to make the relationship between the United States and India more stable.
As Prime Minister Narendra Modi recently suggested, our partnership "has overcome the frequency of history." Bilateral trade has doubled from $ 58 billion in 2007 to 2017. On $ 125 billion, since taking office in 2014, Prime Minister Moody has visited the United Nations five nations; publishing more than forty government dialogue and working groups to include network security and counter terrorism cooperation From a range of topics to business relations and defense.
President Donald Trump's government has made a good start in its early statements. In early September, the US Secretary of Defense and Secretary of State held the first "two plus two" talks with their Indian counterparts. The National Security Strategy clearly welcomes India's emergence as a global leader and a stronger strategic and defense partner. These words should now be translated into action.
In fact, we have to promote the rise of India's keen interest, but not difficult to imagine, given the current priorities facing the United States - the active military operations from North Korea and Iran to Afghanistan, India's policy how to refer to a secondary position. Syria, the threat of international terrorism. Not surprisingly, these complex challenges often devour the time and efforts of decision-makers in Washington, leaving much room for bandwidth for long-term strategic priorities of no less importance.
It would be wrong, however, to pay insufficient attention to India, which would help offset two disturbing geographical lines. Russia uses various forms of soft and hard power to violate the sovereignty of its neighbors, claiming itself in the Middle East and undermining NATO, the European Union, and Western democracies. China defies international law as well as in Asia since the end of the Second World War, the prevailing ruling-based system, threatening freedom of navigation, rapid military modernization, a military presence in the Indian Ocean and start "along the way" initiative - ambitious business enterprises throughout Asia, to Africa, the Middle East and Europe. The rise of India along with the global governance structure can offset these trends and bring greater stability to the international system, but this needs to significantly enhance the strategic partnership between the United States and India.
For all positive data and real progress, this relationship is still unfocused and still weak. To help enhance the flexibility and full potential of the relationship, the United States must follow a five-pronged strategy: India as a global strategic partner to strengthen economic relations, deepen defense and security cooperation between our citizens and strengthen effective oversight by Congress and the White House relations.
The relationship between the United States and India does not correspond to the traditional alliance model. As the founder of the Non-Aligned Movement, India's "strategic autonomy" after independence is a consistent principle. This does not undermine the intrinsic value of the growing US strategic partnership in India. Vice President Joe Biden told the public in Mumbai in 2013: "There is no contradiction between strategic independence and strategic partnership."
As both countries share the same values and adopt similar views, we will increasingly find our views on the major international challenges today. Our relationship requires less attention to the tactical details of a range of bilateral issues and more strategic cooperation in a range of global challenges from development to climate change and international security.
The transformation of India from a recipient country to an international aid donor has provided an important opportunity to build a partnership for India-led economic development. India can provide much assistance to other developing countries because it has succeeded in significantly reducing the number of people living in poverty. The Indian government has been able to innovate in remote areas of agriculture, maternal and infant health, and raise the standard of living of millions of people.
