America Can Be India's Best Partner: Nisha Desai Biswal
"We are drivers of growth across the region and around the world," she said, adding that the two countries are net provider of security in the Indian Ocean region.
These values are clearly reflected in the joint vision statement for the Asia Pacific region issued after Obama-Modi summit in New Delhi last month, she said.
Biswal said Obama's India visit marked "historic progress" on resolving some of the lingering challenges that previously were being experienced, including the civil nuclear agreement.
The establishment of a contact group by Obama and Modi after their September 2014 meeting at the White House set in motion the type of intense negotiations that allowed India and the US to achieve "breakthrough understanding" between the two governments on advancing civil nuclear cooperation, she said.
"We believe we have the requisite understanding on both sides to enable civil nuclear co-operation to move forward," she said.
"As we believe that some of these lingering challenges have been resolved and addressed, now it would be up to the countries to access for themselves, the business case scenarios and make their own decisions based on the commercial aspects, how to move forward," she said.
