PM Modi noted that the visits have imparted greater dynamism and depth to the India-US partnership. The Prime Minister emphasised that India and the USA today enjoy a comprehensive global strategic partnership that covers all areas of human endeavour, driven by shared democratic values, convergence of interests and vibrant people-to-people ties.Today, US-India partnership encompasses a wide array of sectors, including trade and investment, defence and security, education, science and technology, cyber security, civil nuclear energy, space technology, clean energy, environment, agriculture, and health.
People-to-people interactions and bipartisan support within both countries further nourish this vibrant relationship, showcasing the deepening ties between India and the United States as they navigate a complex global landscape together.
