in india self- interest. and this is simple. economic prosperity. india is the world's largest democracy. and will soon be one of the world's largest economies. its involvement in asia will be a welcomed addition. the u.s. must work with india to reduce her domestic constraints to growth and inagrees foreign direct investment. reducing red tape, increasing the supply of electricity, improving the tax system, strengthening the ability to enforce contracts will all lift india's ranking and spur business growth in a way that has been missing thus far. largelyia's economy is based on global supply chains, it is absolutely critical for india to enact reforms and liberalize its economy, to tap into this regional market. this is how india anchors itself in the asia-pacific region and we should do what we can to help leverage those reforms inside india. that is why i believe the administration must redouble its efforts to secure a u.s.india bilateral investment treaty. current negotiations are proceeding far too slow

india has had some slow growth but i am optimistic on india. >> why is that? explain that.ople look at india today, they see growth is at 5.5% now. you talk to foreign investors and they say the infrastructure is terrible and it's very difficult to operate in india. you look at all that and you're still bullish. >> well, i'm very bullish on india because it's really the aspirations of a billion people. and ours is a country where all the billion count. there are some countries in the world where one person counts. there are some countries where the politburo, 12 people, count. the beauty of india is that all our billion people count. and they have aspirations. and it is really a bottom-up story. it's not a top-down story. so, yes, we will, just with what happens in the rest of the world, but we are on a long-term growth trajectory. and this is just not growth in terms of gdp numbers. this really is for well-being of each and every indian. and that's the aspiration. >> you run the largest company in india, you live in this fabulous house. do you see yourself as having a spec

india got what it wanted.ow we have there's greater good will for india in the united states than there is for pakistan. that is to the disadvantage of pakistan. instead of working around the problem by increasing good will between pakistan and the americans, a lot of people in pakistan react and turn more and more hostile to the united states, which undermines the relationship and the potential for french and -- for friendship even further. pakistan needs good relations with india and with all its neighboring countries. pakistan needs to focus inward. one-third of pakistani to live below the poverty line and another one-third lived above it. pakistan spends far too much on its military. in terms of building up against the potential threat from india instead of dealing with the real threats of illiteracy, of disease, of ignorance that is widespread. host: husain haqqani served as pakistani ambassador to the united states from 2008 to 2011. he's a senior fellow and director for south and central asia at the hud
