Youressay-When Indian Prime Minister Manmohan Singh last visited the White House in 2009, he heralded "a moment of great opportunity" for the two countries, calling on both sides to work together to "harness the immense potential of our talented and enterprising people and support each other's growth and prosperity." Yet, as Singh prepares for his visit to Washington this week, India's trade and investment policies threaten to undermine, rather than harness, this potential. With the United States still recovering from a recession and the continued slowdown in India's economic growth, the potential value of a deepening partnership has only increased. From my personal experience in India over the last two decades, I have witnessed firsthand the progress that has been made to solidify the relationship between India and the U.S. Between 2000 and 2011, revenue from U.S. exports to India increased seven-fold, and India's exports to the U.S. more than tripled as the trade and investment relationship gathered momentum.Yet, four years after Singh's initial visit, the potential of the relationship still remains largely unfulfilled. Surprisingly, India remains only the 13th largest trading partner of the United States, even though it may soon become the world's third largest economy. The United States trades more with Taiwan and Korea than with India, despite their being only a tiny fraction of India's size.
