One of the initiatives taken was to form a US-India CEO Forum, comprising selected CEOs from both countries, with a mandate to develop a road map for increased partnership and cooperation between the two countries at a business level. It was also envisaged that this joint Forum could identify issues which might be included in the Agenda for discussion between President Bush and Prime Minister Singh when they meet in New Delhi in March 2006. The US and India share common values based on their democratic, multi–cultural, multi-ethnic and multi-religious societies, as well as a strong entrepreneurial spirit, all of which support the bilateral Strategic Partnership. Both the US and India are committed to full exploitation of the mutual benefits of globalization, which is an irreversible process driven by technology and the development of human resources in an increasingly knowledge-based world. Through mutual harnessing of technology and human capital, the US and India can forge a unique partnership to achieve greater competitiveness and prosperity for the citizens of both nations.
