Both have reasons for carrying off a successful summit this week.<\/p>\n<aside class=\"ad-unit ad-unit--mr7_ab\"><\/aside>\n<p>\u201cThe U.S. recognizes India as a pivotal part of its wider strategy in the Indo-Pacific. And India recognizes that it can only ward off a rising China with the help of the United States,\u201d Dhume told The Hill.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>India\u2019s G20 presidency has also brought to light growing schisms within Indian society that may be difficult for Biden to avoid.<\/p>\n<p>While the administration has concerns about human rights and press freedom issues, including the treatment of Muslims and LGBTQ minorities in India, U.S. officials have sought to downplay those differences in the interests of cultivating a strategic relationship with New Delhi.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere are certainly civil society groups and human rights groups, as well as parts of the Democratic Party that would like to see the Biden administration be much more vocal. But it\u2019s very clear that the U.S. has decided that India is an important swing power. Washington wants to woo New Delhi and even if they may have concerns with domestic developments, they\u2019re not going to play those up,\u201d Dhume added.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"White_House_makes_push_in_Indo-Pacific\"><\/span><strong>White House makes push in Indo-Pacific\u00a0<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Biden\u2019s travel to India and Vietnam comes on the heels of Vice President Harris\u2019 own trip to Indonesia for the ASEAN Summit, a reflection of how the White House has put an emphasis on building relationships with nations in the Indo-Pacific region to counter China\u2019s influence.<\/p>\n<p>Besides Biden\u2019s hosting of Modi during the official state visit, the White House has revived the Quad alliance of the U.S., India, Japan and Australia to strengthen its presence in the Indo-Pacific.<\/p>\n<p>National security adviser Jake Sullivan pointed to Biden\u2019s trip to Vietnam this weekend as another key example of the administration\u2019s efforts to boost its presence in the region.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis visit is a remarkable step in the strengthening of our diplomatic ties, and it reflects the leading role that Vietnam will play in our growing network of partnerships in the Indo-Pacific as we look to the future,\u201d Sullivan told reporters.<\/p>\n<p>Harris traveled to Jakarta this week, where she met with leaders from Southeast Asia and discussed efforts to boost the region\u2019s economy, as well as develop more climate-friendly policies.<\/p>\n<p>It marked Harris\u2019 fourth trip to the Indo-Pacific since taking office.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>Copyright 2023 Nexstar <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/social-mediaa\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"1\" title=\"Social Media\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Media<\/a> Inc.
