India is simply too big to be just another partner country to the Atlantic Alliance. And while most members of the Indian strategic community readily admit that NATOs Afghanistan mission coincides with Indias own strategic interest in stabilising that country, they do not necessarily conclude from this that India and NATO should develop closer cooperation. On the contrary, many seem to believe that NATOs eventual withdrawal from Afghanistan will mean the end of its interest in Asia. Finally, since India enjoys close bilateral relations with all major NATO allies, some see little added value of building closer ties to the Alliance. And Do You really think an Aircraft could spoil all the existing relationship????
Hello sir good to see you back. Where you on a sabbatical or what??
On topic perfectly said by you. It is true that in current global scenario our interests are matching with that of USA. And if we work with them closely it does not mean we are changing camps, also the converging interests of both are not so converging if u see critically the whole scenario.
So its true that we are working with USA closely but it would really be a overstatement to say we have jumped the wagon.
Though it is a cliche i would like to repeat it that Russia is, was and will be our friend ally and partner in strategic terms forever.
