WASHINGTON - Less than ten days after his historic second trip to India, President Barack Obama, in his new national security policy, told Congress Feb. 6 that the U.S. is "primed to unlock" the potential of relations with India. Sending his second National Security Strategy to Congress, he reiterated his commitment to the U.S.'s Asia Pacific rebalance. "We are primed to unlock the potential of our relationship with India," Obama said in the NSS.
"Our rebalance to Asia and the Pacific is yielding deeper ties with a more diverse set of allies and partners. When complete, the Trans-Pacific Partnership will generate trade and investment opportunities — and create high-quality jobs at home — across a region that represents more than 40 percent of global trade," he said. Obama said the scope of U.S. cooperation with China is unprecedented, even as the U.S. remains alert to China's military modernization and rejects any role for intimidation in resolving territorial disputes.
Running into more than 30 pages, the National Security Strategy says, in South Asia, the U.S. continues to strengthen its strategic and economic partnership with India.
