The 40th Leadership summit of US-India Business Council (USIBC) on the eve of the first Strategic and Commercial Dialogue between India and the USA just a week before PM Modi’s US tour has seen the American Vice President Joe Biden opening arms to India as he said that the US wants to be India’s best friend. Reciprocating to Joe’s comments, India said that both the countries’ relationship is defined by the natural synergy of democracies.
The business conclave, the largest bilateral trade association in America constituting 300 top US and several Indian companies, is expected to set the positive environment for Modi’s summit meeting with the American President Barack Obama, third summit within a year ever since he took charge as the country’s Prime Minister last year.
The Vice President further reiterated that Barack Obama believes that the India-US relationship will be a relationship that will go a long way in defining the 21st century. Joe Biden also said that both India and the US have so much potential for investment and trade, provided more reforms were formulated. The Vice President also assured that the US will support any kinds of reforms stipulated by Modi.
