THE INDIA-US FORUM 2020

- The most well attended Forum so far with 100 participants from both sides including cabinet ministers, senior government officials, business leaders, CEOs, heads of think tanks, academics, thought leaders, senior journalists and authors.
- The presence of the Deputy Secretary of State from the US Mr Stephen Biegun and Dr S Jaishankar, our Minister of External Affairs added to the discussions at the Forum immensely.
- The theme of the Forum was “Life After Corona – A Shared Vision” with discussions on topics of mutual interest including:
- Securing emerging tech and restructuring global supply chains
- A shared health security agenda
- The future of the Quad.
- The India US partnership is now truly comprehensive. Building on deep historic ties, bilateral collaboration now spans defense and security cooperation, mutual law enforcement support, trade and investment ties, a multi-pronged energy partnership, scientific and technological collaboration, educational links, support for strengthening and reforming international organizations and, perhaps most critically this past year, unprecedented cooperation to combat the coronavirus pandemic.
- For three decades, each successive US administration has successfully built upon and deepened the accomplishments of its predecessor with respect to relations with India. The discussions in the Forum highlighted the participants’ confidence that, regardless of the outcome of the 2021 US Presidential election, the vital partnership between the US and India would continue to deepen. The Biden administration has proven this confidence to be true.
