“The visit (PM Modi’s visit to the US) last month was extremely successful and important. The relationship with India is stronger than ever and we announced a range of key deliverables and some of them are being implemented. We remain very optimistic as it relates to our long-term future and relationship with India and we believe that’s gonna continue,” she said during the briefing.
Pierre further said that the I2U2 framework is already deepening partnerships among the four countries and there is still a strong future with I2U2.
“We started that (I2U2) initiative a year ago. It was a shared vision of security and prosperous Middle East region, and keep them connected…I2U2 is already deepening partnerships among those four countries and beyond, and evidenced by existing projects and initiatives. There is still a strong future with I2U2. We’re really excited about the prospects of that future,” the White House press secretary added.
