OT Republicans plan visit to India SAURABH SHUKLA NEW DELHI, MARCH 2: Just before the visit of US President Bill Clinton later this month, the Republicans will come calling to New Delhi, and the message they seem to be giving is that it is better to do business with us than the Democrats. Expecting their candidate George W Bush to win the US presidential elections 2000, the Republicans are planning to come here and set the agenda for their foreign policy goals. The team -- which is expected to comprise Director, Foreign Policy Programme, at the Washington-based Brookings Institution Richard Haas, besides other pro-Republican key foreign policy analysts -- will be here from March 5 to 7. It will hold talks with a cross-section of Indian strategic analysts and policy-makers at a two day, closed-door session. Long term strategic planning on a host of issues from non proliferation and terrorism to economic cooperation is expected to be on the agenda, besides looking at options to resolve the differences in Indo-US relations. Haas wields enormous influence in Republican circles and might be in the running for the post of National Security Advisor or Secretary of State if Republicans occupy the White House. He had also served in a senior position under former president George Bush, the father of the present Republican front-runner. The other members of the team are Teresita Schaffer, a former diplomat who was the US ambassador to Pakistan in the previous Republican administration. Stephen Cohen, Senior Fellow at the Brookings Institution and a South Asia expert who had served in the Reagan Administration, might also come, besides US foreign policy analyst Professor Jim Lindsay. Though the new American President will be elected at the end of this year, the Republicans have started doing their spadework for setting a foreign policy agenda, and India is said to figure high on their priority list. There have been several visits by pro-Republican strategic analysts here to understand Indian perspectives on a range of issues in the recent past. Sources say through the visit, Republicans want to engage India in a more comprehensive manner, considering its growing influence and strategic location. -Indian Express Newspapers (Bombay) Ltd.
