Abstract
The “US–India Strategic Vision for the Asia-Pacific and Indian Ocean Region” is to “promote infrastructure connectivity and economic development that links South, Southeast and Central Asia.” The document mentions trilateral cooperation too, indicating that India, the United States, and Japan will synergize their strengths and increase their engagement. The finalization of the 2015 “Framework for the US–India Defense Relationship” aims to strengthen the bilateral strategic partnership over the next ten years. They have also reached a consensus to jointly develop new defense technology, an impetus to indigenous defense production while contributing to India’s defense capabilities. Modi’s US visit and Obama’s return visit, coupled with the intense diplomatic follow-ups, signal that if such multi-dimensional engagement is sustained with the same intensity, New Delhi and Washington will soon realize “qualitative reinvigoration” in their bilateral relationship.
