WASHINGTON: India’s ties with the United States are on a steady upward trajectory, Indian ambassador to the US Taranjit Singh Sandhu has said, observing that the Comprehensive Global Strategic Partnership between the two nations remains of key significance in bringing development and prosperity to their people as well as to the world at large.
“Our Comprehensive Global Strategic Partnership with the United States remains of key significance in bringing development and prosperity to our peoples as well as to the world at large,” Sandhu told a gathering of Indian-Americans at India House on the occasion of the country’s 75th Independence Day.
Sandhu unfurled the national flag at India House, the official residence of the Indian envoy, in the presence of a select gathering of officials and community leaders due to the Covid protocols.
The event was telecast live over various social media platforms and was watched live by a large number of Indian-Americans across the country.
“Our ties with the US are on a steady upward trajectory – Prime Minister Modi’s telephone calls with President Biden and Vice President Harris; PM’s participation in the Quad, Climate and G-7 Summits; the recent visits at Cabinet and high officials level to both sides all reflect the strength and closeness in our ties. India-US relationship has indeed come a long way,” Sandhu said.
“However, given the true potential that the relationship holds we still have a lot to achieve together. We need to work towards more and more collaborations in key sectors such as, health care and pharma, digital and IT, education and research, clean energy and climate change, and strategic and defence,” he said.
