WASHINGTON: Outgoing Indian Ambassador to the United States Arun Kumar Singh has stated that India’s diplomatic tactics and foreign policy is more powerful compared to that of Pakistan.

While giving an interview, he said that the ties between US and India shall remain pleasant, irrespective of whichever political party forms the government in the United States, as the Democratic Party and the Republican Party have been captivated by his country’s diplomatic strategies.

Answering to a question, Singh criticised Pakistan and said that Indian diplomats in the US remained busy in further improving the country’s image and were involved in lobbying in the US House of Representatives instead of wasting their time in leisure activities, whereas the diplomats belonging to India’s neighbouring country (Pakistan) enjoyed their time in Washington.

Singh said that Pakistani diplomats should take lessons related to diplomacy from Indians, further adding that Indian businessmen associated with technological companies in the United States have almost gained control over the US industry and over the country’s digital technology.

Former Indian diplomat said that his country’s diplomacy had played quite a role in establishing long-term trade relations with the United States.
