President Obama's Visit To India 2015: 10-Year Defense Partnership, Renewable Energy And China's Balance Of Power In Asia Discussed

The world is watching to see if anything will happen during President Barack Obama's 2-day visit to India. The White House has dubbed the event as "the first-ever second trip" to India by a U.S. president. Skeptics question if the trip will amount to much - military or otherwise - despite the President's interest in the Washington - New Delhi relations.

The last Obama trip to India was more of a cultural orientation than a concrete deal-making effort from both sides. A discussion on nuclear energy was one of the highlights of Obama's previous trip.

Former US ambassador to NATO Kurt Volker said in a BBC report, "Indians are prepared for anything big. And I don't think Obama has a clear idea of what he wants."

President Obama's visit to India this year will focus on drone collaborations, the environment, and a treaty to balance China's power in Asia.

President Obama's talks with his counterpart in New Delhi brought the two countries together in securing defense and nuclear deals worth billions of dollars. The U.S. and India have forged a 10-year partnership.

The meeting of the two democratic leaders also included talks on how to reduce carbon emissions in India, which is one of the highest air pollutants in the world. This goal will also include establishing sources for new types of sustainable energy technology.
