Former US Defence Secretary William S Cohen today expressed confidence that the change of guard in the US would further strengthen business ties between India and the US.
Cohen was in the capital to attend the three-day India Economic Forum. During a meeting with the members of US-India Business Council (USIBC), Cohen said, "The commercial relationship between the two countries (India and US), will deepen under the Obama administration."
He said, "The recently concluded G-20 talks in Washington DC demonstrated a deep respect around the world for an economically strong India. Indo-US relations enjoy strong bipartisan support in the US. It was evident by overwhelming support for the civil nuclear agreement."
USIBC was established in 1975 to promote trade between India and the US.
