India's economic choices in Trump-defined world are sound: Panel

|April 01, 2025

"I think the message from Delhi to Washington has gone very clearly," said Rajiv Bhatia, distinguished fellow at Gateway House. "We are ready for a mutually beneficial, mutually negotiated agreement (with the U.S.)."
Bhatia, former Indian ambassador to Myanmar and Mexico among other countries, said India had made a sound economic choice to negotiate with the U.S. for a bilateral agreement that could benefit both the world's largest economy and the fastest-growing one.
