India is unlikely to look at Russia as a "secure" friend, given Moscow's closer ties with Beijing in the wake of the raging war in Ukraine, a top Indian-American Congressman has said.
Congressman Ro Khanna told a group of reporters over a luncheon interaction on April 25 that the goal of Indian Americans in the U.S. Congress should be to strengthen the relationship.
"I don’t think that given the closer ties between Russia and China, India would look to Russia as a secure friend to hedge against the invasion, potentially, of its border in Asia, and that they [Indians] know the United States would be a more trusted partner for that objective,” he said.
