The U.S.-India relationship is expanding on a number of fronts
as the two countries work together on issues of common interest and
seek a strategic partnership for the twenty-first century. While
U.S.-India trade and investment ties are growing, there is wide
scope for broader economic engagement and business cooperation to
provide ballast to the deepening strategic relationship. India's
former Minister for Disinvestment Arun Shourie will provide his
thoughts on the important topic of building U.S.-India economic
ties. Arun Shourie is a former Union Minister of the Government of
India and presently a sitting member of the Upper House of the
Indian Parliament (Rajya Sabha). From 1999-2004, Dr. Shourie held
several significant ministerial portfolios. As the Minister of
Disinvestment, he undertook the difficult task of privatizing a
number of public sector companies and is well known as the
privatization czar of India.
