India is the focal point of the Joe Biden administration's Indo-Pacific policy in the US; Indian Foreign and Defense Ministers recently met with their American counterparts in a '2+2' summit. Even though there is disagreement between the two nations about the Russia-Ukraine Conflict, one of the most concerning geopolitical concerns in the world, it is in their mutual interests to put aside disagreements and maintain ongoing collaboration. A wide range of topics are covered by the India-US bilateral partnership today, including the response to CoViD-19, post-pandemic economic recovery, the climate crisis and sustainable development, critical and emerging technologies, supply chain resilience, education, the diaspora, and defense and security. The breadth and depth of Indo-US relations continue to be unrivalled, and the factors fostering this alliance have been expanding at a never-before-seen pace.

Since both the strategic elite and the interpersonal level are involved in the relationship, it continues to be special. Even though India and the US have had mostly divergent reactions to the Russia-Ukraine conflict, the two leaders of the world's two most powerful democracies recently indicated their willingness to bridge their differences in order to reach amicable solutions.

India and the US have reaffirmed their dedication to building on the momentum of recent years while maintaining awareness of the bigger strategic picture.

As the two countries strive to strengthen their collaboration in cyberspace and outer space to enhance capabilities in both 'war-fighting domains,' the Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) on space situational awareness was signed during the dialogue.

They also decided to boost joint cyber exercises and training while establishing the first Defense Artificial Intelligence Dialogue.

The US secretary of defense noted that the US and India had 'discovered new potential to extend the operational reach of our forces and to coordinate more closely together throughout the width of the Indo-Pacific.' The US and India have a rapidly expanding defense alliance. In a stern statement, the US also noted that China was building 'dual-use infrastructure' near India's border and vowed to 'continue to stand beside' India in defending her sovereign interests.

In 1954, the United States made Pakistan a Central Treaty Organization (CENTO) treaty-ally. India cultured strategic and military relations with the Soviet Union to counter the Pakistan-United States relations. In 1961, India became the founding member of the Non-Aligned Movement to avoid participation in the Cold War.

In the twenty-first century, Indian foreign policy has sought to lift India’s strategic autonomy in order to safeguard sovereign rights and promote national interests within a multi-polar world. Under the supervision of presidents like George Bush (2001-2009) and Barack Obama (2009-2017), the United States has demonstrated accommodation to India’s core national interest and acknowledged outstanding concerns. An increase in bilateral trade and investment, cooperation in global security matters, the inclusion of India in decision-making on matters of global governance which is the United Nations Security Council, upgraded representation in trade and investment forums, admission into multilateral export control regimes ad support for admission in the Nuclear Suppliers Group and joint manufacturing thorough technology sharing arrangements have become key milestones and a measure of speed and advancement on the path to closer relations between the United States of America and India.
