The partnership between the United States and India begins with democracy,
and it does not end there. Our people share a devotion to family, a passion
for learning, a love of the arts, and much more. By taking these steps
we'll continue to strengthen the ties between our two countries, our two
democracies.
At the start of this young century, the United States of America and the
Republic of India are working together to achieve two great purposes, to
expand the circle of prosperity and development across the world, and to
defeat our common enemies by advancing the just and noble cause of human
freedom.)

In both our countries, democracy is more than a form of government, it is
the central promise of our national character. We also hope
India will continue to work to ensure that its own people are treated fairly
by enforcing laws that protect children and workers from trafficking and
exploitation and abuse.

progress, Prime Minister Singh and I are launching a new Agricultural
Knowledge Initiative.)

India's leadership is needed in a world that is hungry for freedom. On my trip to Islamabad, I will meet with

Our two great democracies
are now united by opportunities that can lift our people, and by threats that
can bring down all our progress. Those freedoms are enshrined in law through our written
constitutions, and they are upheld daily by institutions common to both our
democracies -- an elected legislature, an independent judiciary , a loyal
political opposition, and, as I know well here in India, a lively free press. The United
States worked with India to help meet its food needs in the 1960s, when
pioneering American scientists like Norman Borlaug shared agriculture
technology with Indian farmers. We're working together to improve education and conservation and
natural disaster response. Our military cooperation is stronger than ever before. Indians of diverse backgrounds attend school together

doubled in size since you opened up your markets in 1991. India's middle class now

America and India are also cooperating closely in agriculture. Both our nations have

the murder of Christians and Hindus and Sikhs and Jews, and vast numbers of

religion. India is rich in history, culture, and activities -- from the mountains
of Delhi to the holy sites of Varanasi , to the studios of Bollywood. It's true that some Americans have lost jobs when
their companies moved operations overseas. Some people believe the answer to this problem is
to wall off our economy from the world through protectionist policies. (Applause. From the East to West, we've seen that only one
force is powerful enough to replace hatred with hope, and that is the force of
human freedom . President Franklin Roosevelt was one of the first world leaders

with India: outsourcing. India needs to continue to lift its
caps on foreign investment, to make its rules and regulations more
transparent, and to continue to lower its tariffs and open its markets to
American agricultural products, industrial goods and services . Last summer in
Washington, America and India reached an agreement to share civilian nuclear
technology and to bring India's civilian nuclear programs under the safeguards
of the International Atomic Agency . Our
agreement will strengthen the security and the economy of both our nations. Our nations also share the global challenge of HIV/AIDS. And
as you do, America will be your partner in turning the tide against this
terrible disease. And so America and India are
allies in the war against terror . Today, our nations are
cooperating closely on critical areas like bioterrorism and airport security
and cyber security.
Your country has trained National Assembly staff, and developing a similar
program for the Assembly's elected leaders. You recently announced that
you'll provide an additional $50 million to help the Afghans complete their
National Assembly building. In Iran, a proud people is held hostage by a small clerical
elite that denies basic liberties, sponsors terrorism, and pursues nuclear
weapons. (Applause.

Responsibilities on April 1. The
symposium will explore ways in which these two concepts can reinforce
