Washington: The relationship between the US and India has been receiving high-level attention from President Barack Obama and Prime Minister Narendra Modi, a senior American official has said.
“The relationship between the US and India…Has been receiving high level attention from the President, from Prime Minister Modi,” State Department Deputy Acting Spokesman Jeff Rathke told reporters at his daily news conference.
“We certainly see those relations as improving and we want to keep that trajectory going, and so of course the ambassador’s going to play key roles in doing that across the broad spectrum of our relations,” he said in response to a question.
Asked about Modi’s upcoming China trip, Rathke said the US supports a good relationship between the two countries.
“We support good relations between China and India, so I don’t have any comment on that travel,” Rathke said.
