US supports India's key role in maintaining regional stability
The US has said it supports India's "critical" role
as a leader in maintaining regional stability and both have
a common interest in promoting global
security and the free flow of global trade and commerce.
"We have a shared interest in promoting global security,
stability, and economic prosperity through trade, investment,
and connectivity," the State Department said in a background
note on India released yesterday.
"The United States and India have a common interest in
the free flow of global trade and commerce, including through
the vital sea lanes of the Indian Ocean," it said.
"The US supports India's critical role as a leader in
maintaining regional stability. Security ties are robust and
growing with bilateral defence and counter-terrorism
cooperation reaching unprecedented levels," it said.
The two countries also look continue to develop their
defense partnership through military sales and joint research,
co-production and co-development efforts, it added.
The State Department said the US-India Strategic
Dialogue, launched in 2009, provides opportunities to
strengthen collaboration in areas including energy, climate
change, trade, education, and counter-terrorism.
The third annual meeting was held in June 2012.
In 2012 alone, seven Cabinet-level officials made visits
to India to deepen bilateral ties, it added.
Noting that the strength of people to people linkages
between the US and India has come to define the indispensable
relationship between the two countries, the State Department
said the increased cooperation of state and local officials to
create ties has enhanced engagement in education.
