India and the United States are united as trusted global partners, as expressed by Indian Ambassador to the U.S., Taranjit Singh Sandhu, in his address to the New Hampshire State assembly on Thursday. They are committed to tackling the pressing challenges of the times through collaboration. Their partnership has the potential to spur global economic growth, provide solutions to complex problems, and foster consensus in times of conflict.
President Joe Biden and Prime Minister Narendra Modi have rightly described India-US ties as a “Partnership for Global Good”, and this alliance is envisioned to be a tremendous force in defining the 21st century. This partnership is a major factor in India’s rise as a reliable provider of stability, in the midst of geopolitical uncertainties. India has also been at the forefront in disseminating technology for the betterment of the world, from semiconductors and AI to telecom and quantum.
With American companies manufacturing more in India than ever before and initiatives like Corbevax to make vaccines and medicines more affordable and accessible, the Indo-US relationship is witnessing great progress and prosperity.
The Indian diaspora is also a great connecting force between the two countries, with Indian students and scholars making the most of educational opportunities in the U.S., and vice-versa. Noting India’s recent successes in emerging technologies, the Indian Ambassador optimistically noted, “We have more than 80,000 start-ups, out of which 115 are unicorns. Our rural internet users (USD 340 million), outnumber urban users (USD 290 million). IMF has forecast 15 per cent of global growth this year would come from India.”
The Indian Ambassador Taranjet Singh Sandhu is a seasoned diplomat, having previously served his country as India’s High Commissioner to Canada and as Deputy High Commissioner to the United Kingdom. He is a graduate of the prestigious St. Stephen’s College, University of Delhi, and went on to study international law at the London School of Economics and Political Science. Sandhu has been a key partner in strengthening the Indo-US relationship and is currently appreciative of the strong bonds between India and the United States.
Ontario Temple Attack recently occurred and India deeply condemns it, asking Canada to bring the perpetrators to justice. With a clear eye on the future, India is proactively working in global forums like the G20 and is building a greater alliance between countries worldwide to establish better global structures and create a better future.
Overall, India is an essential player in the global arena and their partnership with the U.S. is a great title for building a more progressive, open, and interconnected world. Through their relationships with nations around the world, India and the U.S. are actively striving for global growth and prosperity for all.
