NEW DELHI: The US on Wednesday subsidized India's emergence as a "leading power" and promised to give you the "best technology" for its military modernisation.
"US backs India's emergence as a leading power and will continue to help Indian capabilities in providing security for the region. We are ready to provide the best technology for India's military modernisation," stated US secretary of state Rex Tillerson in a joint commentary with external affairs minister Sushma Swaraj.
Tillerson added that he was once "looking forward to discussing deals for F16 and F18 fighter jets with India."
Both nations also decisively condemned terrorism and those who provide "safe havens" to terrorists.
"The US and India agree that Pakistan must work to immediately get rid of terror safe havens operating there," stated Swaraj.
Tillerson, who's in India as a part of his five-nation seek advice from, echoed Swaraj's perspectives and stated that "terror safe havens will not be tolerated."
Highlighting the strengthening courting between the two nations, the top American diplomat stated that "India and USA are natural allies, we stand shoulder to shoulder against terror."
Tillerson, who visited Islamabad before New Delhi, warned that if terror groups proceed to proliferate in Pakistan, they could threaten the very balance of its executive.
"Too many terror groups find safe haven in Pakistan, and these are now threatening the stability of the country's government. We want to work with Pakistan in a positive way as we think this is in their interest in the longer term," he stated.
India added that for US President Donald Trump's new South Asia coverage to succeed, Pakistan would have to act towards all terrorists, without exception.
Tillerson reiterated that India is "crucial" to the USA's Afghanistan strategy.
The joint commentary lined a variety of other problems together with economic cooperation and business, H-1B visas and North Korea.
