US pushes India to take bigger Asian role. increasingly anxious about a more assertive China. US pushes India to take bigger Asian role. By James Lamont and Anjli Raval in New Delhi and Michiyo Nakamoto in Tokyo Published: October 25 2010 17:54 \| Last updated: October 25 2010 17:54 The US is pushing India to lift its role in Asia as one of the continent’s leading democracies and largest economies at a time when the region is becoming increasingly anxious about a more assertive China. Ahead of US President Barack Obama’s visit to India early next month, senior US government officials said on Monday they wanted India to take a “more active” role outside of its immediate south Asian region, in trade and political and security co-operation. “We view India as an east Asian power,” said one official. “India is not limited to the context of its immediate neighbourhood.” India has so far not been included in emerging east Asian institutions, which loosely bind China, Japan and South Korea with south-east Asian nations and the US and Australia. The US comments coincided with a visit by Manmohan Singh, India’s prime minister, to Japan on the first leg of a “Look East” tour that will also take him to Vietnam and Malaysia this week. Mr Singh and Naoto Kan, Japan’s prime minister, concluded negotiations on a economic partnership agreement, paving the way for increased Japanese investment in the fast growing Indian economy. Indian leaders have expressed fears the country is being hemmed in by Beijing’s expanding political and trade ties with Pakistan, Burma, Nepal and Sri Lanka. “Certainly China is a topic of active discussion between our governments,” said a US official. “We don’t have identical concerns.” New Delhi has also aired its worries about Washington’s relationship with Beijing. It was upset last year when a communiqué issued during Mr Obama’s visit to Beijing offered China a role in south Asia. New Delhi is particularly sensitive about China’s ambitions in nuclear-armed Pakistan, its rising maritime might and border disputes in Arunachal Pradesh, India’s north-eastern state, and Kashmir. US officials said inviting India to boost its role in Asia was not an attempt to rebalance Washington’s relationship with New Delhi and Beijing. But they said that India would have a larger part in Asian regional forums like the East Asia summit. Although India is not expected to join the US as a defence ally, India has become the US’s most frequent military exercise partner, conducting 50 exercises over the past eight years. US officials are keen to develop the inter-operability of India’s military hardware to allow support in anti-piracy, peace-keeping and humanitarian operations. The US describes its relationship with India as having transformed “exponentially” under the presidencies of Bill Clinton, George W. Bush and now Mr Obama.
