New York: President Donald Trump has unveiled his "America First National Security Strategy" giving India a "leadership role" in the "broader" Indo-Pacific region and taking a hardline on China and Russia, provoking strong reactions from Beijing and Moscow.
The security plan released on Monday said: "We will deepen our strategic partnership with India and support its leadership role in Indian Ocean security and throughout the broader region."
Washington also pledged to increase quadrilateral cooperation with Japan, Australia and India.
"We welcome India's emergence as a leading global power and stronger strategic and defence partner. We will seek to increase quadrilateral cooperation with Japan, Australia and India."
Trump's security strategy also stated that the US would continue to push Pakistan to speed up its counter-terrorism efforts.
"We will press Pakistan to intensify its counterterrorism efforts, since no partnership can survive a country's support for militants and terrorists who target a partner's own service members and officials," it said.
"The US will also encourage Pakistan to continue demonstrating that it is a responsible steward of its nuclear assets."
