Good meeting, but let's not get carried away. The US has a habit of making promises on counter-terror but acting selectively. Remember how they handled Hafiz Saeed? Action speaks louder than photo ops, Mr Ambassador.
The border security part is especially important. We need to secure not just the LoC but also our maritime borders. Glad the US is willing to share technology and intelligence for this. Let's hope this translates into real action on the ground.
This is what strategic partnership should look like! Both countries cooperating on terrorism, narcotics, and border security. The trade talks are also promising. But we must ensure India's interests are protected in the BTA negotiations. No more import dumping please!
A rare moment of bipartisan agreement - both sides want to crack down on terror and drugs. But kudos to HM Shah for pushing this agenda. Our Home Minister has been consistently raising these issues at international forums. Let's see some tangible outcomes now... bring the criminals to justice!
As an American living in India, I'm thrilled to see this level of cooperation. The terror threat is global and we need joint action. The drug angle is also critical - fentanyl is killing Americans, and the cartels operate across borders. Glad to see the PM and President are aligned.
