About Events

A panel discussion on what a Biden presidency means for India was organised online by the Foundation. The event was chaired by Amb. Ronen Sen, formerly the Indian Ambassador to the USA. He was assisted by Amb. Shyam Saran, former Foreign Secretary of India and Prime Minister’s Special Envoy for Indo-US Civil Nuclear issues. During the Trump administration, India and the USA were aligned on various issues includingeconomic and political cooperation, neighborhood security, peace and climate change, etc. However, Joe Biden has taken a different stance on many of these these issues. The path ahead, therefore, for the India-US relationship has become rather uncertain. The USA's tussle with China also has implications for India's security and trade. There are serious concerns in the US regarding technological imports from Russia and China. However, India cannot do away with these imports as its indigenous capabilities are limited. Indrani Bagchi, Diplomatic Editor, Times of India also expressed her views.
