Although there were no major announcements made during Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s visit to the United States last week, the stage has been set for transforming India’s partnership with America, advancing Delhi’s Quadrilateral partnership with Canberra, Tokyo, and Washington, and boosting India’s global impact.

Having transcended some of their traditional differences on bilateral, regional, and global issues during the last two decades, Delhi and Washington are now free to frame their bilateral relations in more ambitious terms — as a partnership for regional stability and global good. Bilateral defence cooperation, Indo-Pacific regional balance, vaccine development, and mitigating climate change now cut across bilateral, regional, and global domains.
