Robert Blake, a top American official said that the Obama administration visualizes great promise in bringing India, China and the US together. On Wednesday, he said that Washington saw New Delhi as a pillar of stability and prosperity in the Indian Ocean.

"We see great promise in bringing China, India and the United States even closer together, in formal capacities," Blake said.

Robert Blake is the Assistant Secretary of State for South and Central Asia.

He said that India plays a critical role in US strategy. Blake also suggested that anti-piracy efforts could urge “three-way cooperation with India and China.”

In his speech on US regional strategy, Blake said Washington’s "strategic relations with India will shape the world we live in, as the world settles into the still young, and at times turbulent, 21st century".

While observing the naval powers of Britain in the 19th century and those of the US in the 20th century which had helped to develop global commerce Robert Blake said, "Perhaps it will be the cooperation of the American, Indian and Chinese navies that ensure global commercial routes are protected and enhanced in the 21st century."

"It is for this very reason that eliminating the scourge of piracy could be a natural way for the United States, India and China to begin to cooperate at sea," Blake said.

He was addressing at Johns Hopkins University’s School of Advanced International Studies.
