CNN Central News & Network–ITDC India Epress/ITDC News Bhopal: Speaking at the Raisina Dialogue, former US Congresswoman Tulsi Gabbard emphasized that the “America First” policy does not mean isolating the United States but rather strengthening its global partnerships, especially with India. She highlighted the growing strategic, economic, and defense cooperation between the two nations, reinforcing that collaboration is essential for mutual growth.
Gabbard stated that the US sees India as a key partner in ensuring a free and open Indo-Pacific. She stressed that strengthening ties with India aligns with American interests and global stability. According to her, India’s economic rise and democratic values make it a natural ally for the United States.
Discussing key areas of cooperation, Gabbard pointed out the increasing defense collaborations, trade agreements, and technological advancements shared by both countries. She also touched on shared concerns regarding regional security, economic resilience, and counterterrorism efforts.
Her remarks come at a time when global geopolitics is witnessing a shift, with the US and India playing crucial roles in maintaining a balanced world order. With challenges such as China’s growing influence and emerging security threats, the US-India partnership is expected to deepen further.
The Raisina Dialogue, India’s premier geopolitical conference, has once again served as a platform for key international voices to discuss pressing global issues. Gabbard’s statement reinforces the idea that America’s interests are best served by engaging positively with key allies like India rather than adopting an isolationist approach.
As India and the US continue to navigate global challenges together, their strategic partnership is expected to expand across multiple domains, benefiting both nations in the long run.
