Partnership with India

Washington: The Republicans have emphasised on continuing build-up of a partnership with India, including the U.S.-India civil nuclear accord, championed by President George Bush.

The thrust of the Republicans to build on the partnership with India came out in the party’s Platform for 2008, which was unveiled at Minnesota. The party also placed on record its commitment with India to political freedom. “Representative government can be the foundation for an enduring partnership” between the two countries, said the Platform. — PTI
