US Ambassador to India Eric Garcetti has said that 'anything is on the table' when asked to comment about a report mentioning that a US committee has recommended India's name to be included in the West-led North Atlantic Treaty Organisation (NATO), WION reports.
Speaking to WION exclusively on Tuesday, the US envoy said that it was up to New Delhi to decide whether it wants to join the military alliance, asserting that the Asian country is one of Washington’s closest allies. He said that regardless of India's decision, New Delhi and Washington will remain united together.
“Anything is on the table. It's up to India to decide what makes the best sense for them,” Garcetti told WION.
“We have deepened our defence cooperation, unimaginable some 30 to 40 years ago. (We are) Leaning in further with India than some of our closest allies to make it safe.”
“I know one thing, whether it's the Quad or the Indo-Pacific, we are united together,” he added.
