Why did Rubio speak on India-US relations?
Marco Rubio said, ‘India is always concerned about the fact that armed terrorist groups operate from Pakistan’s soil, but as far as Pakistan’s role in the Iran issue is concerned, this issue has never come up.’ Rubio described India as one of America’s most important strategic partners. He said that the relations between the two countries are strong and by the end of the current US administration, these relations can be stronger than before.
He also responded to India’s concerns about America’s increasing contact with Pakistan’s military. Rubio said that America works with many countries of the world at different levels and India also does the same, but this will not affect the India-America strategic partnership.
