Vance Praises: Prosperous and Peaceful 21st Century to Come with India-US Cooperation
US Vice President Vance held talks with Indian Prime Minister Modi on Monday. Both sides separately reported significant progress in bilateral trade agreements after the meeting.
In the context of global tariff conflicts, US Vice President Vance, who is visiting India, said that progress has been made in negotiations with India. During his visit to Jaipur City, he said, "If India and the United States can successfully cooperate, we will usher in a prosperous and peaceful 21st century."
Vance also stated that the United States hopes to provide more energy and defense technology to India, but at the same time warned that if US-India negotiations fail, the 21st century may become dark for humanity.
Vance met with Indian Prime Minister Modi on April 21, Monday. Modi's office later said that both countries have achieved "significant progress" in negotiating the first batch of trade agreements. Vance's office reported "significant progress" in the negotiations and said that the two leaders outlined plans to advance economic discussions.
The statement from Vance's office added that the talks provided an opportunity for "a new modern trade agreement focusing on promoting job creation and citizen well-being in both countries." Vance praised Indian Prime Minister Modi as a tough negotiator, believing that significant progress has been made and a roadmap for the two countries' agreement is being formulated.
Not long ago, Trump suspended reciprocal tariffs on all countries for 90 days, and India hopes to use this period to reach an agreement with the United States. For India, the United States is its largest trading partner.
Vance is currently on a four-day visit to India with his entire family; his wife is an Indian-American immigrant.
