India US partnership G2 For Indo-Pacific In Making Jaswant Singh and Strobe Talbott Did Groundwork For This Day after Pokharan nuclear test US sanctions

ABP News  

If the Biden-Modi summit on June 22 has succeeded in taking the India-US global strategic partnership to a "limitless sky", further solidifying the bilateral relationship and almost attaining ally-like ties, the credit should go to the then US deputy secretary of state Strobe Talbott and India's former external affairs minister Jaswant Singh, who recommended measures for reconciliation in the aftermath of the US imposing sanctions in response to the 1998 nuclear tests by India. Immediately after the May 1998 nuclear and hydrogen bomb testing in Pokharan, which evoked worldwide anger against India, drew the ire of US administration, which felt flabbergasted as India challenged the nuclear might and monopoly of the United States besides other UNSC members China and the United Kingdom. Strobe Talbott-Jaswant Singh Dialogue Amid deteriorating ties, then US President Bill Clinton had offered to conditionally negotiate with India by the end of 1998, the year of Indian nuclear defiance, to check further slide in the relationship. Talbott, a diehard opponent of India’s nuclear programme, had expressly told Jaswant Singh if India wanted American and Western sanctions to be lifted it must adhere to the Comprehensive Test Ban Treaty and shun its ballistic missile programme.
