In response to the question on the Symbolic wins of PM Modi’s visit, Campbhell said, “First of all, I don’t think it’s a secret that India is one of the most sought-after players on the global stage. You see a number of countries seeking to build deeper, more consequential relationships in trade and technology and people-to-people with India. And I’m just happy to say that the United States has taken its own step to develop further the relationship between the two sides.”
Terming Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s State visit to the US as “absolutely historical,” Campbell said that India and the US successfully took the bilateral relationship to the next level.
