U.S. Has Very High Hopes For PM Narendra Modi's Vision And Ambition: Nisha Biswal
NEW YORK: The U.S. has "very high hopes" for the vision and ambition laid out by Prime Minister Narendra Modi but the two sides should "temper" themselves on the timeframe by which the expectations from the new Indian government are met, a top American official has said.
"... These are also early days in the new (Modi) administration, all of us need to be cognizant that this is an administration that is two and a half months old. Let us both set high expectations but also temper ourselves on the timeframe within which we want to see those expectations met," assistant secretary of state for south and central Asia Nisha Desai Biswal told reporters here at the Foreign Press Centre on 'U.S. Foreign Policy Priorities in India'.
She said some important steps have been taken by the Modi administration and "some important signals" sent but these are just the "first steps".
"The government needs to have a firm vision and a path forward but the rest of us need to have some patience with which we engage this new government on that path and certainly we have very high hopes for the direction, vision, ambition that Prime Minister Modi has laid out and what that means for India as well as for the India-U.S. partnership," she said.
