US with India against LeT, JeM |
In spite of some disputes between India and the US, the talks between India`s foreign secretary S Jaishankar and his US interlocutors recently have "focussed on further consolidating bilateral relations in the year ahead and enhancing convergence on regional and global issues. Apparently, friends can live with differences, and in keeping with the long history of wrangles between the two sides during the best of times and the worst of times, Prime Minister Narendra Modi will visit Washington later in March 2016 , ostensibly for the Nuclear Security Summit, will also enhance bilateral ties in other areas. Being a robust relationship it can endure differences was the broad message from the India side as the foreign secretary headed off to New York on his way home. Significantly, word that the two sides discussed "US-India collaboration against Lashkar-e-Tayyiba, Jaish-e-Mohammed, and other terrorist threats," came not from the Indian Embassy`s guarded statement, but from the National Security Council whose spokesman Ned Price who said, "Building on their leaders` commitment to make the US-India partnership a defining relationship for the 21st Century, they agreed to deepen their already close collaboration on these issues."
