U.S. Woos India: Narendra Modi's 'Sabka Saath Sabka Vikas' Is A Great Vision, Says John Kerry

WASHINGTON: The developmental plan of Prime Minister Narendra Modi reflected in his poll slogan of "Sabka Saath, Sabka Vikas" is a great vision, U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry said on the eve of his departure to India.

Kerry will be in New Delhi to co-chair the fifth annual India-U.S. Strategic Dialogue with his Indian counterpart Sushma Swaraj.

In fulsome praise of the developmental agenda encompassing inclusive growth of Modi, Kerry in a major foreign policy speech on India said that the U.S. is ready to be partner with the new Indian government in its endeavour.

"The new Indian government's plan, 'Sabka Saath, Sabka Vikas', together with all, development for all, that's a concept, a vision that we want to support. We believe it's a great vision, and our private sector is eager to be a catalyst in India's economic revitalization," Kerry said in his address to a Washington audience at an event held by the Center for American Progress, a top U.S. think tank.

"American companies lead in exactly the key sectors where India wants to grow: in high-end manufacturing, in infrastructure, in healthcare, information technology, all of them vital to sort of leapfrogging stages of development so you can provide more faster to more people," he said.
