Indian Home Minister Amit Shah praised what he called the “Modi Doctrine” in diplomacy following Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s grand welcome at the White House. The visit marks a significant milestone in India-US relations and showcases the growing strategic partnership between the two nations.
During his visit to the United States, Prime Minister Modi was accorded a warm reception by President of the United States, Joe Biden, and other high-ranking officials at the White House. The visit reaffirmed the commitment of both countries to strengthening their economic, security, and cultural ties.
Speaking at a press conference in Washington D.C., Home Minister Amit Shah hailed Prime Minister Modi’s diplomatic approach, which he referred to as the “Modi Doctrine.” He highlighted that the doctrine is based on three pillars: assertive representation of India’s interests on the global stage, forging strong partnerships with major world powers, and advancing the principles of peace and cooperation.
“The success of the ‘Modi Doctrine’ in diplomacy is evident in the warm reception Prime Minister Narendra Modi received during his visit to the United States. This reflects the growing stature of India as a key player in the international arena,” said Home Minister Amit Shah.
The talks between Prime Minister Modi and President Biden covered a wide range of issues, including trade, technology cooperation, climate change, and regional security. Both leaders emphasized the importance of the India-US partnership in addressing global challenges and promoting a free, open, and inclusive Indo-Pacific region.
In addition to the official engagements, Prime Minister Modi interacted with the Indian diaspora in the United States, underlining the deep people-to-people ties between the two nations. The Indian diaspora in the US, with its contributions to various sectors, has played a crucial role in enhancing India’s image and strengthening bilateral relations.
The visit also witnessed the signing of several agreements and memoranda of understanding, aimed at boosting collaboration in diverse sectors, such as defense, healthcare, education, and clean energy.
“The outcomes of this visit are a testament to the strong resolve of both India and the United States to work together in addressing common challenges and pursuing shared opportunities,” Amit Shah added.
The “Modi Doctrine” has been a cornerstone of India’s foreign policy during Narendra Modi’s tenure as Prime Minister. Under this approach, India has sought to assert itself as a responsible global player, actively engaging with nations worldwide, and establishing itself as a credible partner for mutual progress and development.
The success of Prime Minister Modi’s visit to the United States reinforces India’s growing stature on the international stage and cements the significance of the India-US partnership in addressing global challenges. As both nations continue to collaborate on various fronts, the “Modi Doctrine” is likely to remain a defining feature of India’s diplomatic efforts in the years to come.
