Jun 21, 2023

Washington DC (USA), June 21 (ANI): Former United States National Security Advisor John Bolton while speaking to ANI on June 21 highlighted the importance of PM Modi’s historic State Visit to the US as he landed in New York. Further, he said upon the growing challenge of China in Indo-Pacific. He said, “I think the big challenge that confronts India and the United States is how to deal with China. I think the view in the United States, shared to a large extent across party lines, is that China is a large threat to the US and its friends and allies around the world with its hegemonic aspirations, not just in Asia, but beyond. A lot is going to depend on how the countries in the region align with countries outside the region to deal with it, the two most important countries in that complex situation are India and the US. I think India's interests lie in closer relations with the US and I hope that's the view that Prime Minister Modi increasingly accepts.”
