US Ambassador to India, Eric Garcetti, has praised India’s developmental journey, saying that if anyone wants to “see the future”, they should come to the country. Speaking at an event, he also mentioned his “great privilege” of being future-ready because of his position as the leader of the United States’s mission.
“If you want to see the future, come to India. If you want to feel the future, come to India. If you want to work on the future, come to India. I have the great privilege of being able to do that every single day as the leader of the US Mission,” he said at an event in India.
US National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan also commended the country’s ties with India, saying the partnership has “gone to new heights”.
Speaking to reporters at the White House, Sulivan said, “The partnership between the US and India, a country in BRICs, has gone to new heights with an engagement across technology and security and so many other dimensions.”
The relationship between the two countries has been under the scanner lately after US prosecutors charged an Indian national, namely Nikhil Gupta, in November last year in connection with his involvement in an alleged foiled plot to assassinate Khalistani terrorist Gurpatwant Singh Pannun on US soil.
America alleged that Nikhil Gupta was working with an Indian government employee and had agreed to pay an assassin $100,000 to kill Pannun, who lives in New York City.
