New Delhi [India], June 17 : India and the United States are connecting at a very different level, both economically and strategically, and this relationship has grown beyond the election cycles, Shashi Shekhar, an author and former Chief Executive Officer of Prasar Bharati said on Friday.In an exclusive interview with ANI, Shekhar said, "India and the US are now connecting at a very different level both economically, strategically...with QUAD, all of these critical emerging technologies. I think the takeaways are beyond the election cycles, it is beyond individual leaders. It's basically a convergence of interest and a lot of shared values.""Even in the history of both, India and the US, these two democracies have evolved a lot of parallels and a lot of similarities. Their approach to diversity has been that of a 'Melting Pot' and our approach to diversity is finding that you know centuries-old cultural-connect across India. But both these democracies have something to show to the world, and that's a model which is very distinct from the Chinese model, and that is the takeaway," he said.Shashi Shekhar has authored 'Collective Spirit, Concrete Action' - a book based on 'Mann Ki Baat' - Prime Minister Narendra Modi's flagship monthly radio programme for connecting with the people of India.While commenting about the relationship between India and US, Shekhar said that US Defence Secretary, Lloyd Austin, and National Security Advisor, Jake Sullivan, recently visited India and that India and US have a strong relationship without an ambassador."The fact that they (India-US) are going to announce the joint development of the engines for the aircraft the fact that Air India has played this huge order with Boeing, and the US president has acknowledged that," he pointed out.PM Modi is all set for his first state visit to the US next week where he will address a Joint Sitting of the US Congress and will also meet a number of American politicians, prominent citizens as well as noted personalities from the diaspora.PM Modi is visiting the US at the invitation of US President Joe Biden and First Lady Jill Biden.
