Ahead of Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s visit to America, US Congressman Raja Krishnamoorthi has said that he looks forward to strengthening the India-US partnership while highlighting that the partnership between the two countries is important not only for US and India but also for the entire world. The US Congressman’s reaction came on the heels of PM Modi’s receiving an invitation to address a joint session of the House of Representatives and Senate during his visit to the country on June 22.

The US representative from Illinois, Krishnamoorthi said, “I believe that this visit is very important in strengthening the relationship between the world’s oldest democracy, the US and the world’s largest democracy, India.”

“This relationship is not only important for the security and prosperity of the United States and India, but I would also argue that this relationship is important for the security and prosperity of the entire world and certainly that is true in the 21st century, where freedom and democracy and the rule of law and free enterprise and free markets are all under threat,” the US Congressman added.

He also said that he looks forward to strengthening and growing and deepening the US-India partnership.

“I look forward to continuing to do that with my fellow Indian Americans in Congress whom I affectionately call the Samosa Caucus as well as the 4 million plus Indian Americans here in the United States,” Krishnamoorthi said.

Another US Congressman, Jonathan L Jackson also expressed his excitement for PM Modi’s address to the joint session of the US Congress.

“We look forward to a continuing strengthening of our relationship collaboration. We’re eager to hear your insights on your leadership on the world stage. So, on behalf of all of us here in the United States of America, we look forward to greeting you and receiving you,” Jackson said.

PM Modi is scheduled to visit the US on June 22 following an invitation from President Joe Biden and First Lady Jill Biden.

“During your address, you will have the opportunity to share your vision for India’s future and speak to the global challenges our countries both face,” House Speaker Kevin McCarthy, Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell, and House Democratic Leader Hakeem Jeffries said in a letter to Modi.  (ANI)
