“Together we can design and co-produce the systems and technologies of the future.

India suffered grievous attacks against your parliament and here in Mumbai. We suffered 9/11. Together we are working hand-in-hand, sharing intelligence on terrorist groups so there will be another 9/11, there will never be another 26/11.”

STORYLINE:
US Vice President Joe Biden has told Indian business leaders that commercial ties between their two countries should be expanding exponentially.
Biden spoke on Wednesday to top business officials in India’s financial hub of Mumbai.
“This relationship between India and the United States has unlimited potential, and there’s no reason why trade, commerce and intercourse between our countries can’t increase expidentially (exponentially),” he said.
The vice president is on a four-day trip to India to strengthen ties between the giant economies, during which discussions were set to centre around hurdles to trade and restrictions on American companies doing business in the Indian marketplace.
They also focused on ways to expand bilateral trade that currently stands at 100 (b) billion US dollars.
Biden told the group that the relationship between India and the United States has unlimited potential and that their economic ties should grow.
He also proposed starting three-way talks between the US, India and China to work toward their common interests.
“We are three big nations – China, India, and the United States – with our own perspectives. We have significant common interests, all three of us,” Biden said.
“The entire region would benefit if we coordinated more closely.”
Biden arrived in India on Monday on a trip focused on boosting trade and regional security ties and strengthening a strategic partnership that has languished in recent years.
Biden’s four-day visit is viewed as a major step in promoting US President Barack Obama’s focus on forging strong partnerships in the Asia-Pacific region aimed at counterbalancing China’s power.
Biden’s trip will also lay the groundwork for a summit meeting between India’s Prime Minister Manmohan Singh and Obama in Washington in September.
