Hillary Clinton Urges India To Be More Assertive In Asia

India TV News  

CHENNAI: US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton urged India on Wednesday to be more assertive in Asia, saying the country should play more of a leadership role. Clinton said India should play a role as a US ally in regional forums such as the Association of Southeast Asian Nations and a planned East Asia Summit later this year. New Delhi could also help promote trade links in violence-wracked South Asia, which would bring prosperity and peace to India, Pakistan and Afghanistan, Clinton said. As well as praise and advocacy for India, Clinton returned to the issue of New Delhi's stance on human rights abuses in Asia, which was also highlighted by US President Barack Obama in his visit to the country last year.
