PM Modi's US visit is an opportunity to bolster the US-India relation and send a stern signal to China

Prime Minister Narendra Modi is on his maiden US State visit. His visit has garnered significant attention and anticipation. The Prime Minister has used his stay to meet not only the US administration but a plethora of American businessmen  and think tank. His meeting with Elon Musk, the CEO of Tesla has left many guessing about the outcome. The visit has the potential to become a defining moment in US-India relations, fostering closer ties between the two nations. It goes without saying that In the US system the businesses play a vital role in the policy framework and the administration is very careful in calibrating its moves keeping in mind the impact it would have on businesses in the US. Thus, Prime Minister Modi's meetings with influential leaders and business magnates during his US visit is a step in the right direction and underscore the growing importance of India on the global stage. Engagements with Elon Musk, a visionary entrepreneur, albeit little off tangent, serve as a testament to India's commitment to fostering innovation and technology-driven growth. Such interactions create a positive framework for bilateral cooperation in areas such as renewable energy, space exploration, and advanced manufacturing, bolstering economic ties between the two nations. Whether or not Tesla would actually come to India is difficult to say right now as it would depend upon many factors but it certainly opens up the avenue for its entry here. Besides, Prime Minister Modi's visit also showcased the strong partnership between the US and India in addressing shared challenges, including climate change, cyber security, and terrorism.

However, in the realm of diplomacy no event takes place in isolation but has to be evaluated in a larger perspective that encompasses multiple regional and global players. India's relations with Russia and China should be evaluated in light of changing geopolitical dynamics. While the US-India partnership has witnessed remarkable growth, it does not necessitate a deterioration of India's relations with Russia and China. India has historically maintained diplomatic balance, engaging with various nations to advance its strategic interests. Prime Minister Modi's visit to the US does not undermine India's partnerships with Russia and China; rather, it adds a new dimension to its foreign policy architecture. But this assertion is not free from its limitations. How would China view and react to this visit only China can say and so goes for Russia which is coming closer to China and forming an axis against the US led Western alliance. If Russia takes a strong exception to the PM’s US state visit, then India could be in the dock. India depend on Russia for defence supplies in a big way. It also encompasses energy partnerships, and diplomatic support. India's approach to international relations has always been about maintaining a delicate balance between various global powers. It should be India’s endeavour to have good relations with the US without annoying Russia or china.
