- Observation by US official:
(1) India and the United States have been “too cautious”, when it comes to China’s concerns about their strategic ties.
(2) Washington respects India’s tradition of “strategic autonomy”, and did not seek to pull it into a security alliance, but hoped to build a partnership in the region through the Quad (Australia-India-Japan-U.S. Quadrilateral dialogue).
(3) We have seen the conditions emerge for an organic and deeper partnership [between India and the U.S.] — not an alliance on the postwar model, but a fundamental alignment along shared security and geopolitical goals, shared interests, and shared values.
(4) He called China elephant in the room.
