Trump focus to build global strategic partnership with India |
India on Thursday said that the visit of the U.S. President Donald Trump in India, the first stand alone visit by a U.S. President to India, should be seen in the context of reaching a certain stage of maturity in Indo-US relationship and the growing comfort level between the two countries. India`s Ministry of External Affairs said that regular meetings between the leaders of two democracies have taken place over the past three years and the two leaders have personally invested in this relationship. The visit of President Trump is likely to further strengthen the global strategic partnership with India. MEA`s official spokesperson Raveesh Kumar said at a media briefing that over the years, the canvas of our relationship has expanded to include several new areas. We enjoy a broad level of support from the executive branch as well as bipartisan support by the Congress. There has been growing intensity in ministerial visits. We had a very successful and outcome rich second meeting of India-US 2+2 Ministerial in December last year. Our defence relations have expanded by concluding enabling agreements like LEMOA and COMCASA. We have initiated a joint tri-services HADR exercise Tiger Triumph as an annual exercise.
