Bloomberg | Bloomberg | Getty ImagesU.S.-India relations entered a new chapter as Prime Minister Narendra Modi and President Joe Biden announced a slew of technology and defense deals.
"We were strangers in defense cooperation at the turn of the century, but now the United States has become one of our most important defense partners."
That includes more military agreements, according to Atul Keshap, president of the U.S.-India Business Council, and former charge d'affaires at the United States Embassy in New Delhi said.
And that is not contingent upon India supporting the United States down the line.
"The U.S. understands that the human tech capital is a very important part of U.S. global leadership in innovation," said Singh, who previously served as India's ambassador to the United States.
