New regime will have to stress on bringing societal reconciliation
The incoming U.S. administration of President-elect Joe Biden will most likely focus on pressing domestic issues, said veteran diplomat and former Foreign Secretary Shyam Saran.
Addressing an online interaction, Mr. Saran said the next U.S. president will have to deal with racial division in American society and the next administration will have to stress on bringing societal reconciliation to some extent. It is difficult to see [in] which direction President Biden will take the United States. It is clear that his intent is liberal. Whether in human rights or promotion of democracy there is no doubt that this is a President-elect who wants to restore the liberal tradition in the U.S. But it will depend on to what extent he can reconcile the split society of the United States,” said Mr. Saran, addressing a webinar organised by the Policy Perspectives Foundation.
