The United States administration on Tuesday greeted India as it is celebrating its 73rd Republic Day on Wednesday.

“We join India, the world’s largest democracy, in honouring Republic Day, the day that marks the adoption of India’s Constitution,” White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki told reporters at her daily news conference.

“As President (Joe) Biden said when India’s Prime Minister (Narendra) Modi visited the White House last September, the relationship between India and the United States is destined to be stronger, closer and tighter, and it can benefit the whole world,” she said.

“Our partnership is rooted in our shared responsibility to uphold democratic values,” Psaki said in response to a question.

Meanwhile, in a tweet, the US State Department’s South and Central Asia Bureau said: “Happy 73rd Republic Day India! As millions of Indians celebrate their vibrant Constitution today, we are reminded of our nations’ shared democratic values and the strength of the US-India strategic partnership.”

Also, Congressman Eric Swalwell congratulated India and Indian Americans on the occasion of India’s 73rd Republic Day.

“India and the United States make up the world’s oldest and the world’s biggest democracies. And our shared partnership, a belief in democracy, the rule of law, humanity, charity and making sure that human rights are carried out not just in our own countries but across the globe is what makes our partnership so special,” she said.

Also, Indian Americans across the country have made special preparations for celebrating India’s Republic Day, the PTI reported.

Due to COVID-19 restrictions, the Indian embassy here is scheduled to celebrate the occasion virtually with Indian Ambassador Taranjit Singh Sandhu unfurling the national flag in the presence of a small group of people, it was reported.
