<\/a>In her memoir \u201cHard Choices,\u201d Hillary said a key aspect of U.S. policy during her stint as Secretary of State was bringing India \u201cmore fully into the Asian-Pacific political scene,\u201d especially as a counterweight to China. During her much publicized visit to Chennai in 2011 she said \u201c much of the history of the 21st century will be written in Asia, which, in turn, will be influenced by the partnership between the U.S. and India and its relationship with neighbors.\u201d As Secretary of State she has weighed in favor of India in rebalancing America\u2019s foreign policy. There was close cooperation in high tech areas particularly in defense and space. India and the U.S. launched a ministerial-level strategic dialog in July 2009.<\/p>\n
Indo-U.S. relations have become very strong and deepened under President Obama and Prime Minister Modi. There has been a significant growth in bilateral relationship at all levels: people to people, business to business, and government to government, between India and U.S. in last few Years. Prime minister Modi and President Obama have\u00a0 taken proactive measures to build stronger relationship, which will only be strengthened and elevated under Hillary Clinton.<\/p>\n
In last two years Prime Minister Modi met President Obama six times just in his first 24 months in office and visited the United States three times.<\/p>\n
Interactions among other leaders in India and the United States have also picked up. Just over the past two years, U.S. Secretary of Defense Ashton Carter has met India\u2019s Minister of Defense four times. Secretary of State John Kerry has visited India twice and met Indian Foreign Minister Sushma Swaraj several times. Several influential U.S. congressional committee members have also visited India and Senator Tim Kaine, chair of the Senate Foreign Relations Subcommittee on South and Central Asian Affairs.<\/p>\n
Many such high-level visits from the United States have since continued, engaging Indian policymakers and leaders at a steady pace. This trend has accelerated considerably since Obama\u2019s visit to India, when he graced the Indian Republic Day celebrations as the Chief Guest. At a political level, it is clear that there have been significant improvements in the bilateral relationship.<\/p>\n
Hillary Clinton has developed strong ties with India. \u201cI am sure she will take it forward as president, as President Obama has done, continuing the strong U.S.-India ties.<\/p>\n
Hillary Clinton believes that we are stronger together. America succeeds when we work together to solve our problems and when everyone shares in the rewards \u2014 when we build an economy that works for everyone, not just those at the top. She believes that we\u2019re stronger when we lift each other up so that everybody plays a role in creating America\u2019s future.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
