As the global economy shifts toward Asia, India will play an increasingly prominent role in global affairs. India’s large population and high-tech industry, among other assets, make it a vital counterweight against China’s rise. The United States recently became India’s largest trading partner, but there is still much to be sorted out in this growing partnership. Policymakers in New Delhi and Washington will need to collaborate more closely than in the past to sustain India’s economic development and strengthen international partnerships like the Quadrilateral Security Dialogue (Quad). Moreover, both countries have important elections next year, which will affect both the nature and timing of shared initiatives.

Join Hudson Institute and the India Foundation for an invitation-only event focused on the role Washington and the American business community can play in strengthening bilateral economic and strategic relationships between the US and India. American and Indian experts will discuss some of the most urgent issues facing the relationship. Then Hudson Distinguished Fellow Walter Russell Mead will interview Indian External Affairs Minister Dr. Subrahmanyam Jaishankar about India's role in the world and the future of the relationship.

Agenda

Panel One: India’s Role in the World Today

  • Subrahmanyam Jaishankar, Minister of External Affairs, India
  • Walter Russell Mead, Ravenel B. Curry III Distinguished Fellow, Hudson Institute

Panel Two: The Future of the US-India Relationship

  • Stephen E. Biegun, Senior Vice President, Boeing
  • Vice Admiral (Ret.) Shekhar Sinha, Chairman, Board of Trustees, India Foundation
  • Jayant Sinha, Member of Parliament, Lok Sabha, and Chair of the Standing Committee on Finance
  • Nadia Schadlow, Senior Fellow, Hudson Institute
