NEW DELHI: Ahead of secretary of state Antony Blinken’s visit to India the US said New Delhi was a critical partner in the region with a shared interest in a stable and secure Afghanistan but that would not stop the American dignitary from raising human rights issues and democracy during the visit.
“With respect to the human rights and democracy question, yes, you’re right; I will tell you that we will raise it, and we will continue that conversation, because we firmly believe that we have more values in common on those fronts than we don’t,” said acting assistant secretary for south and central Asian affairs Dean Thompson.
