'A much more concrete relationship coming up between India, US'
Mukesh Aghi, the president and CEO of USISPF, said on Monday that a much more concrete, deeper and broader relationshipbetween India and the US was being witnessed. Aghi said India is taking an independent position at international forums but pointed out that India also supports the US position.
He also recalled Indian PM Modi's address to a joint session of the Congress.
On being asked about the change in New Delhi-Washington ties over the years, the USISPF president said, "Well when Prime Minister spoke for the first time to a joint session of the Congress, he said we need to overcome the hesitation of history. And I think what we are seeing is both sides are coming, getting over the suspiciousness of each other."
Ahead of Modi's US visit, American corporate sector leaders said they want to see a deepening of technological convergence between India and the US in industries like semiconductors, defence, cybersecurity and telecoms.
On Tuesday, the US India Business Council (USIBC) hosted its annual India Ideas Summit, which was the largest gathering of Indian and American CEOs.
Speaking to the news agency PTI, USIBC President Atul Keshap said, "The mood was great. Very positive mood. Everyone is happy about the State Visit coming up. Everybody wants to see our technological convergence deepen on things like semiconductors, defence as well, cybersecurity, telecoms, 5G, and 6G. There are so many areas of convergence in deep tech and future tech, everyone wants to see more work on that."
