External Affairs Minister Sushma Swaraj and Defence Minister Nirmala Sitharaman will be in the US for talks with their American counterparts next week.
Principal deputy assistant secretary, Alice Wells, said Pakistan is essential for US to achieve its objectives in South Asia.
Washington: The US has not seen...
Driving an electric vehicle for months, the Hyundai IONIQ5, BMW iX and now the Kia Carens Clavis electric, has convinced me of the viability of EVs for city and mid-range commutes.
With the US-India trade deal yet to get done, rupee depreciation may be helping to mitigate India’s loss of competitiveness. The other problem is extreme despondence among overseas equity investors.
Of the total package, $649 million will be utilised for additional hardware, software, and support services, and the remaining for Major Defence Equipment (MDE).
Don’t blame misfortune. This is colossal incompetence and insensitivity. So bad, heads would have rolled even in the old PSU-era Indian Airlines and Air India.
India must not bow down to U.S on oil issue with Iran & buying defence equipment with Russia as it will give a message to ourselves and to world that India is another puppet & a follower country of U.S Moreover, Iranian oil and Russian equipment are crucial for our country. Like many other European and Asian countries India should also impose a counter sanctions on U.S to keep its sanction on check, blindly following its sanction without protest may lead to increse number of sanctions by U.S in future.
One can argue about the article,but it has become obvious for temporary gains to be in good courts of POTUS,Modi has cave in to Niki Haley’s demand to curtail petroleum import from Iran.Considering independent streak of policies practiced by India since 1947(e.g Non-Aligned etc.),this act needs to protested as loudly as possible.
Trump is unpredictable personality and not trust worthy as India think about him. Big brother attitude is not acceptable . Indian should not bent down on oil issue. Bargain with oil visavis defence deal with US. Give and take relation policy should be adopted.
The truth is the intervention of the church which is being managed by one who is known to all. The American President is in the clutches of the Church …this is very clear by now. The USA does not wants a strong India ..neither does Europe….the decreasing dependency on them for arms and technology in particular has made a point . The increasing poularity of the Indian PM has to be pruned…too. Europe and the USA want a puppet government in India …which is missing now…growing popularity of Hindu way of living and ways of spritual enlightment is being seen as an flying frog out of the well. The church in Britain has not only praised Muslims but allowed them to offer namaz in churches…the gesture is just not about the increasing strength ….but also …a gesture where both Christianity and Islam find the Hindu way of living a threat to their future existence as well. The American tenor now is an outcome of compulsive authentic fears which are dominating their minds.
Really!!! We’re still completely dependent on foreign countries for our defense purchases and technology. The Rafaele deal should make that clear for everyone. As far as Christianity and Islam is concerned, Hinduism is nowhere near their numbers and neither is there any surge in people converting to Hinduism. We’re nowhere as far as the USA is concerned. Let’s try to be realistic and work on actually becoming a country that is universally recognized as a world power like China. In 1947, China was in a situation worse than India and now we can not even dream of catching up with them.
the dirty mind of print reporter is narrating the story as if PM Modi himself told her how he is feeling.Cheap piece of trash. Go get a break u anti India people.
This article has zero credibility. What is the evidence that PM Modi thought Trump treated him just like any other Asian leader? It’s just speculation passed off as facts by this journalist. Similarly the dubious motives ascribed to Mike pompaeos cancellation is just another piece of speculation. The other point of PM Modi’s call to Putin having something to do with Trump is yet more of the same Baseless conjecture not substantiated with facts.
Unfortunately news journalists trying to inject gossip rag level standards of reporting to foreign policy is outright silly.
When do our leaders, especially Modi, get into their thick heads the hard fact that foreign policy is and ought to be, dictated by mathematical calculations of self interest than by personal chemistry? Modi ought to restrain himself from his eagerness to be on back slapping terms with world leaders.
Trump is a bull in a china shop, which the world has become after 9-11, sub-prime crisis and the ascent of China. Hopefully the scene will improve after 2020 when Trump is ousted. Till then grin and bear it.
Foreign policy is driven by a cool appraisal of long term national interests. There is very little role for personal relations. Consider how many premiers have changed in important countries since May 2014. These issues are best left to the body of professional knowledge and expertise of the IFS cadre that mans the the MEA, along with its vast institutional memory, especially when it comes to intractable problems like China and Pakistan. The United States is critically important to India; it is a great pity that the current administration is proving so difficult to deal with, including for its closest friends and allies, an inner circle to which India has not so far been admitted. Virtually all of Indian foreign policy should be back on the drawing board. It should be guided by a sense of coherence and purpose.
