 "'Obama aims to make Indo-US relationship more transformative'")
United States and India have developed a "valued global partnership" over the past one decade and US President Barack Obama aims to make the next decade even more transformative, a top presidential aide has said.
"By 2030, India is projected to have the largest population of any country in the world and the third-largest economy. During the past decade, the United States and India have developed a valued global partnership, and President Obama aims to make the next decade even more transformative," US National Security Adviser Susan Rice said yesterday.
From the "Look East" policy to India's contributions to maritime security and its expanding involvement in regional organisations, India has much to offer to Asia and the world, Rice said in her address on 'America's Future in Asia' at the prestigious Georgetown University.
Rice said the two governments of India and the United States have joined with private sector partners in both countries to launch a $2 billion infrastructure debt fund, the first of hopefully many future funds meant to attract financing for Indian infrastructure projects.
"We look forward to deepening our cooperation across the broad spectrum of our relationship," she added.
