Strategic_Plan
Start: 2006-03-01, Publication: 2010-02-08 Source: http://planningcommission.nic.in/reports/genrep/USIndia.pdf
A new era of cooperation between the US and India was ushered in on July 18, 2005 in Washington DC when President George Bush
and Prime Minister Manmohan Singh concluded a set of far reaching initiatives which will pave the way for a closer economic
and strategic partnership between the two countries at Government and at industry levels. One of the initiatives taken was
to form a US-India CEO Forum, comprising selected CEOs from both countries, with a mandate to develop a road map for increased
partnership and cooperation between the two countries at a business level. It was also envisaged that this joint Forum could
identify issues which might be included in the Agenda for discussion between President Bush and Prime Minister Singh when
they meet in New Delhi in March 2006. The US and India share common values based on their democratic, multi–cultural, multi-ethnic
and multi-religious societies, as well as a strong entrepreneurial spirit, all of which support the bilateral Strategic Partnership.
Both the US and India are committed to full exploitation of the mutual benefits of globalization, which is an irreversible
process driven by technology and the development of human resources in an increasingly knowledge-based world. Through mutual
harnessing of technology and human capital, the US and India can forge a unique partnership to achieve greater competitiveness
and prosperity for the citizens of both nations. The Forum believes the new Economic Partnership will present the US and India
with substantial opportunities to increase trade and investment activity, enhance market access for goods and services and
develop greater competitiveness in both countries by leveraging their respective strengths.
