Unprecedented boost to Indo-US business, defence & strategic ties |
As Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi and US president Donald Trump clasped hands and walked across the stage in a packed Texas stadium on Sunday, it sent a message of unity between the world`s two largest democracies despite trade tensions. He said, “Indians are known for patience, but now we are impatient for the development of India in the 21st century, New India is the resolve of the people of India. We are working tirelessly to achieve the dream of our New India. For this we are competing with ourselves, but not with anyone.” Prime Minister also hit out at Pakistan for its support to terrorism and said India`s decision to nullify Article 370 has caused trouble to those who cannot handle their country as he called for a “decisive battle” against terrorism. Asserting that its nullification will allow development and prosperity in the Jammu & Kashmir region, he added “Article 370 encouraged terrorism and separatism in Jammu and Kashmir. The move will end discrimination against women, scheduled castes and scheduled tribes. President Trump, in his speech highlighted the growth of US exports to India, the billions of dollars spent by India on US-made defense equipment and joint military exercises with New Delhi.
