This suggestion has been made in a letter from US Secretary of State Antony Blinken to Afghan President Ashraf Ghani, accessed exclusively by private Afghan broadcaster TOLO News.
Blinken reiterated Biden administration's policy of engaging Beijing from a position of strength, and putting human rights and democracy back at the center of US foreign policy.
The India-US partnership has been on a steady upward trajectory in recent years and enjoys strong bipartisan support, India's Ambassador to the US Taranjit Singh Sandhu said.
Blinken said after Iran returns to the agreement the US would seek to build a 'longer and stronger' accord to address what he called 'deeply problematic' issues.
Incoming US Secretary of State Antony J. Blinken said US and India will deepen their cooperation 'to pursue the path that successive administrations have put us on'.
Blinken's remarks show he intends to draw the curtain on 4 years of 'America First,' in which Trump browbeat the NATO alliance and slammed staunch allies such as Germany and France.
Antony Blinken & Joe Biden's history of working together means US' allies & rivals will know the person they are dealing with speaks for the president. That’s not always the case.
On 4 April 1968, Bansgaon MP Molhu Prasad delivered a speech in the Lok Sabha on the atrocities against the Scheduled Castes and their negligible representation despite reservation.
Germany’s erstwhile Christian Democratic Union govt, led by Angela Merkel, prevented sale of small arms to police forces in states they perceived had ‘bad human rights record’.
A theme has not yet emerged for BJP & people see lack of a contest, which makes it unexciting. For all these reasons, 2024 is turning out to be an unexpectedly theme-less election.
