INDIA’S Prime Minister’s visit this week to the United States is historic. The interest it has generated within the US as also the pomp and show being accorded, including a state dinner, culminating with an address to Congress, indicates that the hosts view the visit as special. It has been unofficially reported all departments have been instructed to make this visit a success.
The number of high-level US visitors to India in recent days adds credence to this input. With agreements pertaining to sale of major equipment, transfer of technology and joint ventures are expected to be inked, India’s military integration with the US will move forward leaps and bounds. Simultaneously, there will be a decrease in military cooperation with Russia.
