Marco Rubio's India Visit: A Test of Washington's Commitment to Strategic Balancing As US Secretary of State Marco Rubio prepares to touch down in India on Saturday, he brings with him a weighty agenda that reflects the shifting sands of the Indo Pacific region.
The four day visit will be a crucial test of Washington's commitment to strategic balancing, particularly as it relates to its partnership with New Delhi.
Energy cooperation and trade have long been cornerstones of the US India relationship, but Rubio's trip comes at a moment when these ties are being put through a stress test.
