1:35 聽 聽Session 1: U.S.-India Relations: An Emerging 鈥淒efining鈥� Partnership for the 21st聽Century?

聽India-US relations have been infused with new vigor under the leadership of Prime Minister Modi, as evidenced by the seven meetings he has held with President Obama over his two years in power, including a summit in Washington in June. However, what are the real, tangible achievements on the ground? Have areas of contention been converted into areas of collaboration? What are the greatest opportunities, and biggest roadblocks, for bilateral relations? And what does the 聽upcoming U.S. presidential election mean for the U.S.-India relationship?

What is the future of bilateral defense cooperation under the Defense Technology and Trade Initiative (DTTI)? What is the nature of the U.S.-India nuclear relationship? How does or should Pakistan figure in U.S.-India relations? Could differing conceptions of security cooperation prevent the U.S.-India relationship from reaching its full potential? How can the United States and India cooperate in the Asia-Pacific region? Can a deepening U.S.-India relationship lead to stronger cooperation within the Japan-India-U.S. trilateral and to stronger prospects for the Japan-India-U.S.-Australia quad?

This session, drawing on country and regional case studies, will examine Modi鈥檚 foreign policy through his first two years as premier.

Additional questions for discussion: What does the future hold for India鈥檚 聽 often-聽 rocky relations with its South Asian neighbors? Is India鈥檚 shift from 鈥淟ook East鈥� to 鈥淎ct East鈥� guided by economic interests, or is there a strategic dimension as well? Do countries in the Asia-Pacific believe India is a necessary counterweight to a rising China and crucial for stability in Asia? How can India balance a deepening 聽 relationship with United States with its complex relationship with China? Can Modi engage China with a greater sense of confidence on the disputed border issue and, at the same time, explore greater economic engagement? What are the risks and benefits for India of engaging with the Middle East, one of the world鈥檚 most volatile regions? Why has India indicated its desire to step up its engagement with Africa? And what does India hope to get out of its relationship with Latin America?
