The evolution of relations between India and the USA in the XXI century is analyzed. It is concluded that both countries have quickly gone from mutual distancing to a real strategic partnership. A number of factors and causes of such transformation are revealed. The first of these is the reform of the Indian economy in the 1990s and the transformation of the country into an economic and political leader in South Asia. It is concluded that the strengthening of India\'s international influence makes it a desirable partner for any country, including the United States. The “factor of China” is considered as the second reason for strengthening cooperation between the USA and India in the XXI century. Both countries are concerned about Chinese military and economic power and build their economic and military-political cooperation on the basis of “common democratic values and interests”. The third reason for the strengthening of the US-Indian partnership is the inefficient US policy in the Asia-Pacific region. A new trend in US-Indian relationships has been revealed: the US and India have joined the process of joint structuring of a new geopolitical space – “Indo-Pacifics”. Based on the analysis of the original documents of the foreign ministries of the United States and India, statistical data on trade and economic relations between the two countries, materials of the speeches of the leaders and officials of the two States (Obama, Trump, Modi, Rao, Kerry, Matisse, etc.) it was proved that Washington and new Delhi are objectively interested in further deepening of cooperation in the framework of the Indo-Pacific region. It is concluded that Washington\'s excessively “American-centric” foreign policy may harm India\'s economic and political interests, including its cooperation with Russia |
