India-US relationship strengthen in Obama regime

Washington: The strategic relationship has become better between India and the United States under the current Obama Administration as compared to Bush regime, Republican White House hopeful Mitt Romney’s campaign has said.

“The relationship between India and the US is mutually beneficial and there is a need to forge new areas of cooperation,” a top foreign policy advisor to Romney said on Wednesday.

“I worked in the Bush Administration both 41 and 43. Especially in 43 (George W Bush) we were very proud of the partnership were able to forge between the United States and India.

“So I think, the Romney Administration would like to restore relationship, restore that strategic partnership with India, which after all is the world’s largest democracy and see areas where we can continue to co-operate, perhaps forge new areas of co-operation,” Reiss said in response to a question on Romney’s India policy.
