| US has vital stake in India's rise |
| US has vital stake in India's rise to global power: Rice

| US Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice considers India's rise to global power and prosperity as ''vital'' as Washington seeks to get right its relationships with the existing and emerging global players.
''The United States has a vital stake in India's rise to global power and prosperity, and relations between the two countries have never been stronger or broader,'' said Rice, considered the prime architect of US foreign policy under President George Bush, reflecting on the last eight years.
''It will take continued work, but this is a dramatic breakthrough for both our strategic interests and our values,'' she said in an article in the July/August issue of Foreign Affairs magazine published by Council on Foreign Relations, a Washington think tank.
The ''strategic shock'' of Sep 11, 2001 terrorist attacks swept US into a fundamentally different world, she said making Washington ''to lead with a new urgency and with a new perspective on what constituted threats and what might emerge as opportunities.
''What has changed is, most broadly, how we view the relationship between the dynamics within states and the distribution of power among them,'' she said. But ''what has not changed is that our relations with traditional and emerging great powers still matter to the successful conduct of policy.
''Thus, my admonition in 2000 that we should seek to get right the ''relationships with the big powers'' - Russia, China, and emerging powers such as India and Brazil - has consistently guided us,'' said Rice, a key member of a group of experts engaged by Bush in the run up to the 2000 presidential elections to brush up his world view.
''As before, our alliances in the Americas, Europe and Asia remain the pillars of the international order, and we are now transforming them to meet the challenges of a new era,'' she said.
