• On May 24, 2022, President Joe Biden met Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi on the sidelines of the Quad summit in Tokyo. According to the White House readout of the meeting, "The leaders reviewed the progress made in the US-India Comprehensive Global Strategic Partnership. They committed to deepen the Major Defense Partnership, encourage economic engagement that benefits both countries, and expand partnership on global health, pandemic preparedness, and critical and emerging technologies." While such statements are often aspirational and lag in implementation, the first four months of 2023 show the renaissance in US-India ties to be real. Domestic politics in both countries are complex, but neither populists nor opposition parties in either India or the United States oppose or undermine growing partnership. While many summits end with lofty rhetoric and pledge to take relations to the next level, such promises often remain aspirational. Not so with US-India ties. Both countries also continue to lay the groundwork for far broader economic and commercial ties. Critical technologies and new supply chains solidify the strategic partnership. Mutual concern about the China threat encourages further defense cooperation.
