WASHINGTON: US President Joe Biden and Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi are expected to deepen defense and technology cooperation between their countries during Modi's official visit to the White House, despite lingering concerns about human rights in India.
When the US sees challenges to press, religious or other freedoms,"we make our views known," White House national security adviser Jake Sullivan told reporters."We do so in a way where we don’t seek to lecture or assert that we don’t have challenges ourselves," he said. Among the expected business agreements were those in artificial intelligence , quantum computing and investments in India by Micron Technology and other US companies.
Rights advocates on Wednesday said Biden should publicly call out Modi's human rights record, saying the approach of U.S. administrations of raising issues in private with the Indian leader has not stemmed what they described as deteriorating human rights in India.
