U.S. Ambassador to India Eric Garcetti said the state visit of Prime Minister Narendra Modi will go down in history as the “turning of a page” and starting of a “bold new chapter” in India-U.S. relations.
He also said that it is more than a relationship between the two countries. "It’s a friendship, it's genuine and it’s deep.” “I think this visit will go down in history as the turning of a page and the starting of a bold new chapter in America and India relations. It's the culmination of years and even decades of work,” Mr. Garcetti told PTI in an interview.
He also said that it has leapfrogged beyond many of the expectations, whether it's been a personal relationship between Prime Minister Modi and President Joe Biden, whether it was breadth and depth of the work done by the governments, or whether it was the people to people ties, business leaders and cultural leaders and everyday Americans and Indians.
