The 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.
The global Indian is an excellent example of how one can connect with India through many of these dimensions at the same time, he said in his message on September 15.
