The US relationship with India has undergone major transformations in the past decade through evolving leadership, economies, and regional dynamics, in addition to a recognition of shared interests and values between the two countries. A new era of cooperation was ushered in under the tenure of President George W. Bush, with landmark bilateral agreements on trade and nuclear issues. Moreover, the expansion of business and trade coupled with strategic dialogues has added a layer of industrial cooperation beyond politics and diplomacy. In 2010, the United States invested $27.1 billion in India—a 29.5 percent increase from just one year prior—and India invested $3.3 billion in the United States—a remarkable 40.8 percent increase from 2009. These numbers exhibit the economic bond and dynamic business relationships benefitting the two nations. The Obama administration has reiterated the nations’ shared interests of counter-terrorism, peace, and stability.
How will the new administration handle this important relationship, particularly with India and China’s growing relationship and US reengagement with Pakistan? As the greater South Asia region undergoes significant changes, what role will India play? Ambassador Deo will address these questions and discuss the bilateral and regional implications of evolving US-India relations.
