US House panel recommends inclusion of India in NATO Plus
India to host Quad summit in 2024, work for global welfare, peace, prosperity: PM Modi
Winning the strategic competition with the Chinese Communist Party and ensuring the security of Taiwan demands the United States strengthen ties to our allies and security partners, including India. Including India in Nato Plus security arrangements would build upon the US and Indias close partnership to strengthen global security and deter the aggression of the CCP across the Indo-Pacific region, stated the Select Committee in the recommendations released on Wednesday.
According to its official website, the Select Committee on the CCP is committed to working on a bipartisan basis to build consensus on the threat posed by the Chinese Communist Party and develop a plan of action to defend the American people, our economy, and our values.
Top Democratic leader of the panel, Raja Krishnamoorthi, said that both Republicans and Democrats should work across the aisle.
We must practice bipartisanship. We must recognise that the CCP wants us to be fractious, partisan and prejudiced, he added.
India's addition to ensureseamless intelligence sharing
The recommendations stated that adding India to the group would ensure seamless intelligence sharing between these group countries and New Delhi would get easy access to the latest military technology without any delay.

The United States should strengthen the Nato Plus arrangement to include India. The United States should also strengthen diplomatic deterrence by supporting Taiwans participation in international organisations and amending the TAIPEI Act to provide that the United States, alongside its allies and partners, should publicly oppose any attempts by the CCP to resolve the status of Taiwans sovereignty by intentionally misusing, misinterpreting, and misleading others on the underlying purpose of UN Resolution 2758 or the United States One China Policy, the recommendation stated.
India is already an important member of the Quad group, which includes Japan, Australia and the United States.
