External Affairs Minister S. Jaishankar on Sunday highlighted the growing India-US relationship during a speech at the 'Colors of Friendship' event at India House in Washington DC. He emphasized the significance of the letter 'I' in various collaborative initiatives between the two nations. Examples he cited included the India-Middle East-Europe Economic Corridor (IMEEC) and the Indo-Pacific concept.
Jaishankar pointed out that many recent initiatives and partnerships between India and the United States have names that begin with the letter 'I,' signifying the strength of their relationship. He mentioned IMEEC as one such initiative and highlighted the familiarity of the term "Indo-Pacific" in today's geopolitical discourse.
“If you look at some of the recent things which India and US have done together, they all start with the alphabet 'I'. So we just spoke about this Middle Eastern Corridor. It's called IMEEC, India-Middle East-Europe Economic Corridor... All of you are familiar today with the term Indo-Pacific... So clearly, you know, the alphabet 'I' is good for the United States,” Jaishankar said.
