US Recognizes India’s Role As Largest Democracy And Vital Partner

The Biden administration emphasized that India held significant strategic importance as a partner of the US and reiterated that the nature of the relationship was anticipated to stay the same. During a press briefing on Monday, US State Department spokesperson Mathew Miller addressed inquiries regarding the US-India relationship, particularly in light of certain critical articles and opinion pieces concerning the Indian government published prior to the Lok Sabha elections in India.

To a question on alleged “concerns about democratic backsliding in India” and the recent statements by the State Department regarding the alleged “crackdown on opposition”, Miller said, “India is the world’s largest democracy. It is an important strategic partner of the United States and I expect that to remain true.”
