Modi-Obama Summit: A New Way of Doing Things?




The two leaders have some things in common. Both have risen from modest background and are good communicators, known for their oratory, and seen as "purposeful". Their administrations have made infrastructure building central to their development agendas. Modi had successfully adopted some of the election strategies of the 2012 Obama campaign. And Obama had reached out to Modi after the 2014 general election in India.

Officials from both sides say the Modi-Obama conversation will be more honest and wide-ranging, and less talking past each other. There would be strong focus on clean energy, a pet theme of both, defence and security issues and counter-terrorism. "The two leaders I believe will be focused on concrete outcomes because that's how we make progress for both our nations... But more importantly, this is the first time that the two leaders will have an opportunity to meet, and within that, they will be sharing their perspectives on the vision of the relationship and for the path forward," said a senior Obama administration official.
