President Speaks on Strategic Partnership with India Posted Jan 30, 2004 President Bush announced on January 12, 2004, that the United States and India agreed to expand cooperation in three important technological areas. These areas are: civilian nuclear activities, civilian space programs, and high-technology trade. Mr. Bush expressed the belief that this cooperation would "deepen the ties of commerce and friendship" between the U.S. and India. Though the U.S. President recognized that India and the United States have increasingly common values and interests, the proposed cooperation will not happen overnight. It is currently planned to occur in a series of reciprocal steps. As many MurthyDotCom and MurthyBulletin readers know, some countries have certain treaties with the U.S. regarding the ability to travel to the U.S. for short periods and/or treaties regarding trade and commerce that entitle some of their nationals to apply for E status. For more information on E status, please see our August 29, 2003 article, E-2 Investor Treaty Approval, available on MurthyDotCom. India currently does not have any such treaties with the United States. © The Law Office of Sheela Murthy, P.C.
