an increasingly assertive China across the board, including using aggression
toward New Delhi at the Line of Actual Control and using its economic might
to coerce others and reap unfair advantage, said Antony Blinken, a former
deputy secretary of the state.
During a panel discussion moderated by US former envoy to India Richard
Verma, Blinken said Biden administration would be an advocate for India to
play a leading role in international institutions and that includes helping
India get a permanent seat on the reformed United Nations Security Council.
"We have a common challenge which has to deal with an increasingly assertive
China across the board, including its aggression toward India at the Line
of Actual Control but also using its economic might to coerce others and
reap unfair advantage. Ignoring international rules to advance its own
interests asserting unfounded maritime and territorial claims that threaten
freedom of navigation in some of the most important seas in the world," he
said.
"In a Biden administration, we would be an advocate for India to play a
leading role in international institutions and that includes helping India
get a seat on a United Nations Security Council," he added
Former Vice President Joe Biden sees the United States and India as "natural
partners", and that is the vision he would help to make real if elected as
US president, said Blinken.
Blinken remembered that Joe Biden had a vision for future India and US
relations in 2006 that ''My dream is that in 2020, the two closest nations
in the world will be India and the United States''. |
