Raksha Mantri Rajnath Singh today said that India and the US are natural partners and they must move forward together in both business and strategic sectors in view of the current global geopolitical scenario.
Addressing a conference on ‘Strengthening Indo-US Relationship in Amrit Kaal – Aatmanirbhar Bharat’ organised by Indo-American Chamber of Commerce (IACC) in New Delhi, Mr Rajnath Singh said that Government has laid the groundwork for self-reliant ‘New India’, and the American investments can play a vital role in realizing Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s vision of ‘Viksit Bharat’.
Terming it as a win-win situation for both the countries, Raksha Mantri stated that India’s fast-growing economy, its demographic dividend, skilled workforce, and huge domestic market guarantee high returns to US companies. He added that, to deal with the challenges faced by the rules-based international order, it will be necessary for American businesses to de-risk by investing in India.
Calling India as a largest democracy and US as another big democracy in the world Mr Singh said when two big democracies cooperate with each other, it will definitely make the democratic world order stronger. He added this will act as a force multiplier for rules-based order across the globe and will benefit the entire world.
The conference, which was attended by US Ambassador to India Mr Eric Garcetti and representatives of IACC, was organised to bolster the economic and diplomatic ties between India and the US.
