India-US Strategic Alignment for the New Century #marcorubio

The second point I would make is that our partnership, from a strategic standpoint, is not limited to a regional one. Clearly, there are regional issues in the Indo-Pacific that are important to both of our countries, but increasingly, as we have conversations, we are talking about strategic interests that align beyond simply the region. Whether it is your visit last week into the Western Hemisphere, where we have a lot of alignment, or our mutual interest in what is happening currently in the Straits of Hormuz and beyond, there is significant convergence between us. On issues such as access to critical minerals and supply chains, both countries are strategic allies. The overconcentration of reliance on a single source for anything, particularly things that are vital for our economies, is one of the great challenges of the 21st century, and we are strategically aligned on that issue. On terrorism as well, both of our countries have suffered directly and indirectly because of global terrorist networks, and there is a strong counterterrorism alignment as a result of that. On innovation and the promises of new technologies and advances in the 21st century, we recognize that every technological advancement that has made societies more productive has also come with risks. Managing those risks while maximizing the benefits is one of the great challenges of this century, and there is tremendous strategic alignment between our countries on that point. Likewise, on the unimpeded flow of commerce, especially in international airspace and international waters, this is true in the Indo-Pacific and extends beyond it. We share the strategic value that no international waterway or international airspace should ever be used or nationalized by any country in the world, and that such actions should never be accepted as a new normal. These are just some examples of the strong strategic alignment between our countries. The bottom line is that the opportunities to work together exist not only because of our shared values and people-to-people ties, but because our nations are strategically aligned on the key issues that will define the new century: US Secretary of State Marco Rubio at the joint press conference with EAM
