India-US Trade Deal a triumph of Modi Doctrine: M.J. Akbar
In this conversation with Manish Chand, CEO, Centre for Global India Insights, M.J. Akbar, former Minister of State for External Affairs, author and columnist, shares his assessment of the India-US trade deal, its implications for India, US and the world. It’s a triumph of the Modi doctrine of “India first, and India ready to cooperate.” The deal offers a template for handling relations with US, he says. Prime Minister Modi very clearly has shown that India is capable of being one of the major leaders of world affairs. The ability with which he has handled this relationship with America has become a guide for others, that are seeking negotiations and are seeking amicable relationship with the world’s primary superpower,” he said
