Asked about assertive China, Eric Garcetti says India, US to deter any bad actor

Hindustan Times  

NEW DELHI: India and the United States stand together to uphold international law and a rules-based order and to deter “any bad actor”, US ambassador Eric Garcetti said on Friday against the backdrop of China’s assertive behaviour in territorial disputes across the region. I would say also in the area of our people-to-people ties, whether it’s opening two new consulates, whether it’s the visa work that Indians have asked of us, that’s going full steam ahead. With about two weeks to go for the G20 Summit, how are India and the US working together on India’s priorities such as the concerns of the Global South and food and energy security? So much good work has been done that I’m of a very high level of confidence and I hope India has felt our President, this administration and our country’s enthusiasm for its leadership in G20, whether that’s priorities around digital public infrastructure, the LiFE initiative, whether it’s looking at Indian medicines – we are here to help lift up India’s leadership in the world and to be a good friend and partner.
