00:00So, there you saw such a rousing welcome befitting a state head.
00:29And when it comes to Prime Minister Modi in the USA, there are reasons more than just
00:34one to cheer.
00:36This visit by Prime Minister Modi after Donald Trump assumed office as President of the United
00:40States for the second time is very significant.
00:44It's not just about strengthening bilateral ties, but one that holds immense significance
00:50for global geopolitics.
00:52From meeting the Indian diaspora to engaging with influential leaders like Tulsi Gabbard,
00:58Prime Minister Modi's presence in Washington DC is being closely watched by the world.
01:04But what does this visit truly signify and how will it shape India's role on the global
01:10stage?
01:11Let's break it down for you.
01:15At the heart of this visit lies trade.
01:18Amidst President Trump's aggressive tariff policies that have impacted the major economies
01:24worldwide, India stands as one of the few countries that have managed to avoid these
01:29tariffs.
01:30Why?
01:31Because of India-US trade relationship that goes beyond just numbers.
01:37It's about strategic partnership, mutual growth and shared interests.
01:44Prime Minister Modi is prepared to negotiate a trade deal that protects India from future
01:49tariffs while offering concessions that could appease Trump's hard stance on import duties.
01:55This strategic balancing act is crucial not just for India, but for global trade dynamics.
02:06But again, trade isn't the only agenda.
02:09Defense collaborations is a key focus area too.
02:12With over $25 billion worth of defense deals since 2007, the India-US defense partnership
02:19is only set to grow.
02:21Discussions on advanced fighter jets, drones and aerospace technology highlight the deepening
02:28military ties between the two countries.
02:31This isn't just about buying weapons as well.
02:34It's about strategic alignment.
02:37In an era of geopolitical tensions, India's enhanced defense collaboration with the United
02:43States sends a strong message to the world.
02:52Energy cooperation is another pivotal point.
02:55With the US being a leading exporter of crude oil and LNG, India's growing energy needs
03:01make it a key partner.
03:04Discussions around nuclear technology and modular reactors indicate a shared vision
03:09for clean, reliable energy.
03:11Prime Minister Modi's meetings with American business leaders, including the possibility
03:18of meeting Elon Musk, indicate a focus on innovation and investment.
03:24And did someone just say Tesla?
03:26Well, we'll have to wait and watch whether it makes a dash in India or not.
03:30With Tesla eyeing the Indian market, discussions could open doors to advanced technology and
03:36manufacturing in India, boosting employment and economic growth.
03:40For the world, this visit signals a recalibration of power dynamics.
03:45As the US looks to counterbalance China's influence, a stronger United States-India
03:50partnership could be a game-changer in global geopolitics.
03:55It reinforces the Indo-Pacific strategy and sets the stage for a new era of global cooperation.
04:02Now, all eyes are on this mega-meeting.
04:06What will transpire during the bilaterals?
04:09Which deals would be inked?
04:11And how lavish the state dinner would be?
