"We Have Now Reached A Stage Where...": Indian Envoy On Ties With US

The relationship between India and the US now can be as ambitious as "we choose to be," Sripriya Ranganathan, India's Deputy Ambassador to the US, said.

The relationship between the world's two largest democracies, which have made significant progress in the last 20 years, now can be as ambitious as "we choose to be," a top Indian diplomat has said.

"When I look at the broader relationship, the India-US strategic partnership, I think we have now reached a stage where we can say that the partnership has come into its own. We have achieved a lot over the past 70 years. But what we have achieved over the past 20 years has been at a different level altogether. And I would say that now we are at a stage where we can be as ambitious as we choose to be," said India's Deputy Ambassador to the US, Sripriya Ranganathan.

The top Indian diplomat was speaking at the Stanford India Dialogue, the Leaders of Tomorrow Conference, organized by Stanford India Policy and Economics Club (SIPEC), in partnership with the Motwani Jadeja Foundation.
