answer asia cooperation economic fallen far honest regional short south
The honest answer is that regional economic cooperation in South Asia has fallen far short of our expectations.
country believe partnership
There are partnerships based on principle. There are partnerships based on pragmatism. And fortunately, when it comes to Indo-American relations, both concentrations find a new robust phase of relationship, a multi-fasted relationship which I believe exists in the interests of both our countries.
thinking problem
I don't see, I think, any problems between India and the United States.
balance interest superpower
I recognize the United States is a superpower. It has various interests. It has to balance various things.
war nice team
There was a research I think team, which conducted a survey about what Indians think of Americans, and 71 percent I believe said, well, I think all the nice things about our working together with the United States. But there are people I think that are old mind-sets, who still I think remain mired in the Cold War ideology.
thinking eating
I think the proof of the pudding is in the eating.
thinking growth consistent
India's infrastructure has to be modernized, has to be expanded at a rate which will I think be consistent with the growth requirements.
political
India's political system also would need to be modernized.
country opportunity enough
In a country where employment opportunities are not growing fast enough, the fear of change tends to be very acute.
moving mean people
I have to create in India a macroeconomic environment where the employment in aggregate can go up at a handsome rate. Once that happens, people losing jobs in one sector will not mean that they will become perpetually unemployed. From one sector, they can move on to other sectors.
country responsibility world
Indians, we would like to be a part of the nuclear world order, accepting all the responsibilities that go with being a responsible nuclear power, and at the same time enlarging our options with regard to energy security of our country.
democracy
India has remained a full, functioning democracy.
believe ignorance people
India has, of course, aspirations of getting out of its poverty, ignorance and disease, which still afflict millions of people. But I do believe that we have something to offer to the rest of the world, including the United States.
technology thinking revolution
With the revolution in information technology, with the revolution in transport technologies, I think just geography has lost its all significance.
