us-presidential-electionUpdated: Nov 04, 2020, 18:33 ISTThe outcome of the American presidential election is unlikely to impact India’s relationship with the US as it is based on bipartisan support, foreign secretary Harsh Shringla has said. Presidential candidate Joe Biden has made it “very clear that he values a strong India-US strategic partnership”, and this is common to both Biden and US President Donald Trump, Shringla said in an interview with DW News channel. “Our relations with the US are really based on bipartisan support, you see it in Congress, you see it at the public levels. We do believe that we have forged a relationship that today has withstood the test of time, is very comprehensive and multi-faceted,” he said. Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s ties with Trump “have been special”, he said, noting that Modi’s “relationship with [former president Barack] Obama was also very special”.
