India an important country, plays stabilising role: Hagel

Washington: Terming India as an important country, US Defence Secretary Chuck Hagel today said that the country would continue to play a stabilising role in the region.

“India is a very important country, will continue to be an important power not just in the region, in the world, economically, diplomatically, in every way,” Hagel told reporters.

“India will continue to play a very stabilizing role in that part of the world,” he said in response to a question on emerging threat from China, as seen by its neighbours, which he described as a great power.

“China is a great power, will continue to be a great power. It has interests. Certainly those interests include the Pacific and Asia. We have interests as well. I think always the key to relationships with great powers is common interests,” he said.

“You anchor relationships around common interests. You don’t start with your differences. And that’s what we’ll continue to do is build onto those common interests with China, economic, diplomatic, military to military. And that’s the responsible approach,” the Defence Secretary explained.

US may want India to join her camp, it will not happen for next 15 years at least

India's aim right now is to successfully meet challenges like boosting its military arsenal, setting up huge infra required to boost its GDP growth rate and increasing co-operation on international scale etc.

India needs another decade of good GDP growth rate with average growth rate of 7%, after which it will be a Economic Power House on global scale and will be in far stronger position

For this, India needs to maintain good relations and not joining any camp till it reaches these goals which will take at least 15 years

Personally I don't think there will be any dramatic changes in US policies towards India, after mid-2014, may be

It will most likely never happen which is a good thing. I have explained the reason several times.

Could be?

But then again if history is to repeat itself, bharat will be on the wrong side of history (again) vis a vis Afghanistan and the region. Your experiment is failing miserably as can be seen

Really? Isn't this is the same guy who said India was trying to destabilize Pakistan from Afghanistan? Americans! The baloney they sometimes spew is mind boggling!

 

[scorpionx]

Mr.Hagel 1.we are not interested in anti-China camp 2.your previous statement had more sense 3.Stop buttering

Nope. If confronted by a similar choice we would take it 1,000 more times. We paid back the soviets and we checked hindustani encirclement. The costs were great but in the broader scheme of things there's nothing to regret (except the world abandoning Afghanistan and leaving us to take charge on our own). You on the other hand supported the soviet expansion - regardless of the wonton excesses committed on Afghans (which dwarfs anything the mujahideen/Talebs did)


Speaks volumes about the mutual hatred between Pakistan and india; the fact that we'd go through such great lengths to deny you any advantage in the western sector

 

[Abu Zolfiqar]

The Obama admin are a band of worthless Marxist losers who are driving America to the ground day by day. I sympathize with patriotic, God fearing Americans whose country is being led astray by the these flip flopping leftists.

Shame that our proceeds to Republican camp bore no fruit. These democrat sissies have always been closet indian sympathizers

As for the speech - well he's probably been briefed to try to sugar coat and deflect attention to what he said earlier on indias treachery in Afghanistan - something which seldom goes unpunished
