India is among one of the most sought-after players on the global stage and United States has taken its own step to develop much further the relationship between the two countries, Kurt Campbell, the US National Security Council’s coordinator for Indo-Pacific affairs said on Thursday. Terming Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s State visit to the US as “absolutely historical,” Campbell said that India and US successfully took the bilateral relationship to the next level.
In an exclusive interview with ANI, Campbell who is often referred to as the Indo-Pacific czar in the Joe Biden administration termed ties between US and India as the “most important relationship on the planet” and stressed that it has now ascended to the top level and top layer.
“In the wake of what we think of is an absolutely historic visit of Prime Minister Modi to the United States for the state dinner, for a week of celebrating the US-India relationship. I think we together successfully took this critical bilateral relationship to the next level.”
“And I think, without question, for me, it’s the most important bilateral relationship on the planet. But, it is clearly ascended to the top level and top layer. And I think both countries leave with both along to do list, but a much greater sense of confidence about what we can do together,” he added.(ANI)
