“U.S. policy towards India and the Indo-Pacific”
Featuring
Manpreet Singh Anand
Senior Vice President,
Albright Stonebridge Group (ASG)
India has witnessed unprecedented growth over the past several years, and the U.S. is eagerly watching as the world’s largest democracy and fastest growing economy looks to realize its untapped potential.
The bilateral relationship between these two nations includes many examples of increased cooperation, including the recent 2+2 dialogue with U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, U.S. Defense Secretary Jim Mattis, and their Indian counterparts. However, as this meeting also demonstrated, the relationship includes differences on key issues, ranging from immigration and data protection to trade and geopolitics across the Indo-Pacific.
Join Manpreet Singh Anand, Senior Vice President and lead of the South Asia practice at Albright Stonebridge Group for a discussion on India’s role in the world, the shifting dynamics in U.S.-India relations, and the opportunities and challenges presented by this important relationship.
