New Delhi: US Ambassador to India Eric Garcetti said President Joe Biden told him that India is the most important country in the world to him.
“He (President Biden) told me, when he asked me to come here to serve, he said, this is the most important country in the world to me, I think something that no American President have ever uttered in the history of our two countries. Indian Americans constitute six percent of taxpayers in the US,” Garcetti said.
The US Ambassodor said, “From technology to trade, from the environment to women’s empowerment, from small businesses to space, we used to say the sky is the limit. From the seabed to the heavens, the US and India are a force for good and a powerful force to move this world forward.”
Earlier on Friday, Garcetti said that he is excited to elevate India-US relations during his tenure as he completed 100 incredible days as the US ambassador to India.
Garcetti also posted a video on ‘X’ (formerly known as Twitter) where he shared a glimpse of his tour to Indian states and meeting people. He also thanked the country in the video and said, “Thank you, India for embracing me here as Ambassador and making my time here so welcoming and productive.
