  • the United States nominate and confirm an Ambassador to India as soon as possible;
  • the United States and India should continue to expand economic engagement, including finalizing a bilateral investment treaty and reviving the Trade Policy Forum;
  • India should continue its economic liberalization reforms, including discussions with other Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) forum nations about Indian membership in APEC;
  • the United States and India should expand energy, defense, and security cooperation; and
