Former US advisor Mary Kissel has emphasized the essential role of India in a partnership with the United States and mentioned that Washington relies on the support of the new Delhi to face the growing influence of Beijing in the region.
In an interview with Fox News, Kissel, who was the leading advisor of former Foreign Minister Mike Pompeo, he emphasized the importance of a strong partnership in India and the US in the middle of economic tribes.

“If we really seriously consider communist China the greatest threat to the United States and our way of life, we need India. It’s just a reality. We can’t fight them alone in Asia and the Pacific,” Kissel said.
Her notes came after the 25th Shanghai organization for cooperation (SCO) head of the State Council of the summit in Tianjin, China, where Prime Minister Modi organized bilateral meetings with Russian President Vladimir Putin and Chinese President Xi Jinping on the edge of the summit.
