US Secretary Blinken’s India Visit

US Secretary of State Anthony Blinken’s visit to India is well-timed. His short visit to India for two days accomplished many things, including sending messages to China, Pakistan, Afghanistan and symbolizing the importance attached to India by the new Biden Administration.

That Anthony Blinken’s deputy Wendy Sherman, US Deputy Secretary of State, went to China, while he himself visited Delhi and did not go to Pakistan have clear signals about the priority the Biden Administration attaches to America’s relations with India.
