| Summary / Abstract (Note) | US President Barack Obama defined Indo-US relations as “one of its most important relationships in an uncertain world”. According to J. Tellis, Senior Associate at the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace, Washington D.C., in the backdrop of damage caused by the Khobragade affair, he hoped that both India and United States “will not forget that the special courtesies extended to one another reflects their desire for a stronger strategic bond and hence must not be measured by any picayune notions of mechanistic reciprocity. President Barack Obama is the first U.S. President to visit India twice during office, and is also the first U.S. President to be the chief guest at the Republic Day. ‘Shared Effort; Progress for All’ added a new dimension to Indian foreign policy towards the United States. It envisioned the extensive bilateral strategic and global partnership between the two countries. The pledge of these two major democracies of the world to carry forward their partnership across the spectrum of human endeavor to better their citizens’ lives and that of the global community will certainly set the stage for world peace and security. |
