America In Realization [10.01.14]

Foreign Policy - International Relations  - Diplomacy



"As nations committed to democracy, liberty, diversity and enterprise, India and the United States are bound by common values and mutual interests. We have each shaped the positive trajectory of human history, and through our joint efforts, our natural and unique partnership can help shape international security and peace for years to come.

An immediate area of concrete support is the “Clean India” campaign, where we will leverage private and civil society innovation, expertise and technology to improve sanitation and hygiene throughout India.
The exploration of space will continue to fire our imaginations and challenge us to raise our ambitions. That we both have satellites orbiting Mars tells its own story. The promise of a better tomorrow is not solely for Indians and Americans: It also beckons us to move forward together for a better world. This is the central premise of our defining partnership for the 21st century. Forward together we go — chalein saath saath."







"The Obama administration reached an agreement with India on Tuesday on measures intended to accelerate that country’s shift to renewable fuels, steps that officials say will reduce carbon emissions while helping India’s new government extend electricity to all of its 1.2 billion citizens.

In one of the most significant initiatives, the Obama administration cleared the way for $1 billion in financing from the U.S. Export-Import Bank to help India purchase American technology for clean-energy projects. Other measures would expand U.S.-Indian cooperation on improving air quality and energy efficiency, and on helping coastal cities prepare for flooding and other weather-related disasters, the statement said.

In their joint statement, Obama and Modi said their countries would expand defense cooperation, including sharing information about people who return from Iraq and Syria.

The White House also announced a number of economic initiatives Tuesday between the United States and India. They include efforts focusing on the development of capital markets and the shoring up of India’s infrastructure, as well as the Digital India Initiative, which aims to put India’s government and many of its services online."
