Former diplomat KP Fabian praised Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi's recent state visit to the USA, declaring it an important acquisition for both countries. Fabian cited two reasons for his support: that the meeting will reduce India's defence relationship with Russia, and that it will increase employment rates in the US, selling defence equipment and logistics to India. He also stated that this strengthened relationship could make India an ally for the US in its ongoing conflict with China, though India cannot directly ally with the US against China.
