Washington DC:
The U.S. is playing a “long game” in the context of its relationship with India and not trying to coerce India into joining its sanctions against Moscow, U.S. National Security Adviser Jake Sullivan has said.
Mr. Sullivan’s remarks were made on Thursday at the Center for a New American Security, a Washington DC-based think tank. He was responding to a question on whether India’s abstentions during the United Nations votes that were critical of Russia and New Delhi’s non-participation in the U.S. sanctions on Russian energy were hindering the bilateral relationship or were simply a difference of opinion that could be easily managed.
