'Obama, Singh should move forward on achievable agenda'

In its recommendation ahead of the India US Strategic Dialogue, Foreign Policy Initiative (FPI) asked Washington to consolidate counterterrorism efforts with New Delhi in order to better coordinate against emerging threats.

It also suggested the US to conclude negotiations for a Bilateral Investment Treaty, as part of a long-term strategy towards a US-India free-trade agreement, to expand investment opportunities for businesses in both countries.

Its four point recommendation include bolstering military-to-military cooperation by expanding and intensifying joint training opportunities, particularly in the area of maritime security, and by increasing the number of base visits for the US Navy and encourage India to expand cooperation with existing US allies and partners to promote Washington and New Delhi
