WASHINGTON (CNN) — Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice said Friday that the new nuclear trade deal between the United States and India will unlock a vast potential partnership. “Our partnership will be limited only by our will and determination … now I believe there is nothing we cannot do,” Rice said at a State Department ceremony in which she signed the agreement. “Many thought this day would never come. But doubts have been silenced now.” She blamed decades of mistrust for leaving that potential unfulfilled. “The world’s largest democracy and the world’s oldest democracy drawn together by our shared values and increasingly by our many shared interests now stand as equals, closer together than ever before,” Rice said. She was joined at the signing ceremony by India’s minister of external affairs, Pranab Mukherjee. |
