Article 1

Joint statement like in the past doesn’t address the Critical Sectors
where India is very-very weak and USA is number one.

India has been misled by dullards like Mashelkar and Brahamchari who
file useless and bogus Patents.

India ought have ‘Patent Cooperation’ & ‘US Investment in
Manufacturing Plants in India’ and locate ‘Defense Production
Facilities’ in India.

Cooperation in Food Technologies has $1000b potential.

Our Power Sector is Weak and inefficient.

Oil Gas sector in last 15 years is a total flop.

USA is World Leader in TRADE has most efficient Manufacturer to
Consumer Supply Chain.

Banking in USA is INCLUSIVE – companies offer Six installments on
purchase of just $15 worth purchase.

USA adopted SMART HOUSING for over 100 years. Cities designed and
planned 100 years ago have all public services FLAWLESSLY operate even
today. 100 years old cities look BRAND NEW even today.

Laws related to RENTING and Interstate and International River Basin
Management are very CRITICAL LEARNING for India.

INDIA HAD FAILED TO DEVELOP RIVER BASINS INCLUDING INTERNATIONAL
RIVERS – INDUS, GANGA and BRAHMPUTRA.

We need JOINT MANAGENT of River Basins for OPTIMUM POWER GENERATION,
FLOOD CONTROL and IRRIGATION & MUNICIPAL WATER SUPPLY.

Text of the India-US vision statement
By IANS 30 Sep, 2014

WASHINGTON: As President Barack Obama and Indian Prime Minister
Narendra Modi met for the first time over dinner, the White House
issued a vision statement for the US-India Strategic Partnership:
“Chalein Saath Saath: Forward Together We Go”.

Here is the text of the vision statement:

As leaders of two great democratic nations with diverse traditions and
faiths, we share a vision for a partnership in which the United States
and India work together, not just for the benefit of both our nations,
but for the benefit of the world.

We have vastly different histories, but both our founders sought to
guarantee freedoms that allow our citizens to determine their own
destiny and pursue their personal aspirations.

Our strategic partnership rests on our shared mission to provide equal
opportunity for our people through democracy and freedom.

The currents of kinship and commerce, scholarship and science tie our
countries together. They allow us to rise above differences by
maintaining the long-term perspective. Every day, in myriad ways, our
cooperation fortifies a relationship that matches the innumerable ties
between our peoples, who have produced works of art and music,
invented cutting-edge technology, and responded to crises across the
globe.

Our strategic partnership is a joint endeavour for prosperity and
peace. Through intense consultations, joint exercises, and shared
technology, our security cooperation will make the region and the
world safe and secure. Together, we will combat terrorist threats and
keep our homelands and citizens safe from attacks, while we respond
expeditiously to humanitarian disasters and crises. We will prevent
the spread of weapons of mass destruction, and remain committed to
reducing the salience of nuclear weapons, while promoting universal,
verifiable, and non-discriminatory nuclear disarmament.

We will support an open and inclusive rules-based global order, in
which India assumes greater multilateral responsibility, including in
a reformed United Nations Security Council. At the United Nations and
beyond, our close coordination will lead to a more secure and just

We will support an open and inclusive rules-based global order, in
which India assumes greater multilateral responsibility, including in
a reformed United Nations Security Council. At the United Nations and
beyond, our close coordination will lead to a more secure and just
world.

Climate change threatens both our countries, and we will join together
to mitigate its impact and adapt to our changing environment. We will
address the consequences of unchecked pollution through cooperation by
our governments, science and academic communities. We will partner to
ensure that both countries have affordable, clean, reliable, and
diverse sources of energy, including through our efforts to bring
American-origin nuclear power technologies to India.

We will ensure that economic growth in both countries brings better
livelihoods and welfare for all of our people. Our citizens value
education as a means to a better life, and our exchange of skills and
knowledge will propel our countries forward. Even the poorest will
share in the opportunities in both our countries.

Joint research and collaboration in every aspect ranging from
particles of creation to outer space – will produce boundless
innovation and high technology collaboration that changes our lives.
Open markets, fair and transparent practices will allow TRADE in goods
and services to flourish.

Our people will be healthier as we jointly counter infectious
diseases, eliminate maternal and child deaths, and work to eradicate
poverty for all. And they will be safer as we ensure the fullest
empowerment of women in a secure environment.

The United States and India commit to expand and deepen our strategic
partnership in order to harness the inherent potential of our two
democracies and the burgeoning ties between our people, economies, and
businesses. Together we seek a reliable and enduring friendship that
bolsters security and stability, contributes to the global economy,
and advances peace and prosperity for our citizens and throughout the
world.

We have a vision that the United States and India will have a
transformative relationship as trusted partners in the 21st century.
Our partnership will be a model for the rest of the world.
