Kerry in India: Setting the Tone on Security Issues
By Lisa Curtis

John Kerry
U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry’s current visit to India will set the tone for cooperation between the two countries over the next few years, especially in key areas of shared interest, such as managing the security risks associated with China’s rise and the stabilization of Afghanistan.

Focusing on the long-term potential of a strong U.S. relationship with India, Secretary Kerry should seek to forge common ground with Indian leaders on pressing regional security issues and signal U.S. support for India’s growing role in Asia.



 

The finance media are discovering that China has trapped itself with bad monetary policy, joining a long list of countries in this situation. The media should next realize that China faces not a crisis but a long-term problem of untangling the effects of bad decisions made over several years.



Earlier this year, The Heritage Foundation released a report, “Unleashing the Market in US-India Economic Relations,” highlighting barriers to deeper free market driven economic integration. This Friday, our panel of experts will assess the health of the critical economic and commercial underpinnings of the US-India relationship.
