At the Hudson Institute’s “New India Conference," Ken Juster traced the evolution of India’s foreign policy and its growing alignment with Washington, particularly in response to China’s rise. “India remains committed to the principle of strategic autonomy, or working with others without surrendering its independence of judgment and action, as well as committed to a multipolar world,” Juster said. He served as the US Ambassador to India during the first term of President Donald Trump. He noted that while India has moved closer to the United States over the past two decades, it has deliberately avoided formal alliances.
