Hope this partnership actually benefits common Indians and not just big corporations. We need technology transfer and job creation, not just diplomatic statements.

While I appreciate the positive tone, I hope India maintains its strategic autonomy and doesn't become overly dependent on any single partner. Our foreign policy should serve our national interests first.
