Nisha Desai Biswal, United States Assistant Secretary of State for South and Central Asian Affairs, during her recent India visit, has maintained that the US wants to partner with the Narendra Modi Government in meeting the hopes and aspirations of Indians.
The two sides are working closely to finalise a date for bilateral talks between Prime Minister Narendra Modi and the US President Barack Obama. The meet is likely to be held in September.
It is pertinent to mention here that Obama was among the first foreign leaders to call up Modi and congratulated him on his emphatic victory.
There is a marked shift in US policy on India and Narendra Modi. Though Modi, the then Chief Minister of Gujarat, had never applied for an American visa, the US administration had officially maintained that he was ‘not eligible’ to receive a diplomatic visa.
Moreover, the India-US relationship has seen rough weather including the diplomatic row over Indian Foreign Service officer Devyani Khobragade in the recent past.
