NEW DELHI: US Ambassador to India Richard Verma said on Wednesday that America’s security relationship with India was far broader than Pakistan. Addressing a news conference in Kolkata city, Verma said the security relationship with Pakistan was more complex. “Our security relationship with Pakistan is one that’s complex. It’s focused on counter-insurgency and counter-terrorism. But our security relationship with India is far different, far broader,” said Verma. When asked about the future of US-India ties under Donald Trump, the envoy said, “US-India relationship is on an upward trajectory like this, going up and I believe it will continue. I say that for a few reasons, one the gains that we have seen in relationship in many years, republican administrations, democratic administrations. I would argue that US-India relationship is a non-partisan issue at this point in our political system.”
