Secretary of State Mike Pompeo called on India to work more deeply with the United States and be less dependent on China, according to a recorded video message for the virtual India Ideas Summit held on July 22.
“It’s important that democracies like ours work together, especially as we see more clearly than ever...the true scope of the challenge posed by the Chinese Communist Party (CCP),” Pompeo said, according to a press release by the U.S. State Department.
