U.S. will be key partner in India’s growth story: PM Modi to Indian-Americans
The HinduThe U.S. will be a key partner in India’s growth journey over the coming 25 years, Prime Minister Narendra Modi has said, as he expressed hope that the celebration of 75 years of India’s Independence at the U.S. Capitol would become an important milestone in friendship between the two nations. “The word India represents many things simultaneously - a modern democratic republic, a diverse nation, an ancient civilisation and a cultural consciousness not limited by geography or time,” Mr. Modi said in a message to the Indian-American community as they gathered in Washington to celebrate Azadi Ka Amrit Mahotsav. It is heartening to note that 75 Indian diaspora organisations have come together to showcase India’s diverse culture and also to strengthen cultural ties between India and the United States of America, Mr. Modi said. Mansukh Laxmanbhai Mandaviya, India’s Minister of Health and Family Welfare and Chemical and Fertilizers, in his live web address congratulated the Indian-Americans for celebrating ‘Azadi Ka Amrit Mahotsav’ at the U.S. Capitol.
