India will not only be an associate of the US but will also be a major power in the near future, said Kurt Campbell, White House Asia Coordinator. The bilateral ties have been strengthened during the last two decades. The intense relationship with India is unparallel to any other country, he added.

Campbell was replying to a question related to India and raised during the Aspen Security Forum Meet. He said that bilateral relations with India are most important in the 21st century. During the last 20 years, the relations have moved very fast, which I never saw earlier. Moscow Fire: Massive Blaze Erupts At Mega Khimki Shopping Centre.

India will not be an ally to the US but will be another power because of its unique strategic character and desire. The US needs to invest more together in technology, space, education, industry, climate and other sectors. The US-India relations are dependent on relations between communities of the two nations and not because of disputes with China, Campbell said.
