Sometimes you have to go up really high to understand how small you really are📝

Guys, #indianmango fever has landed in Singapore. Mangoes from all states of India are flying off the shelves. Thanks to @protosphinx for sharing the story with us. HC Wong #mango #mangoexport @AgriGoI #fruit

US President Donald Trump: “I love India… I just want to say hello to everybody. I love the Prime Minister. PM Modi is great; he is my friend…” Further praising India, he added, “We have never been closer to India, and India can count on me and our country 100 per cent. If they need any help, they know where to call. They call right here. We are doing well. We are setting records.”





#WATCH | Delhi: On the question of recent changes in J1 visa, F1, H-1B visa, US Secretary of State Marco Rubio says, "First of all, I accept the contribution that Indians have made to the U.S. economy. Over $20 billion has been invested in the U.S economy by Indian companies. We want that number to continue to increase... The changes that are happening now, or the modernisation of our migration system into the United States, are not India-specific; it is global, it's being applied across the world. We are in a period of modernisation. We've had a migratory crisis in the United States. This is not because of India, but broadly, we have had over 20 million people illegally enter the United States over the last few years, and we've had to address that challenge... Everything that you do as a country needs to be in your national interest, and that includes your immigration policy. The United States, I believe, is the most welcoming country in the world on immigration. Every single year, a million people, roughly, become permanent residents of the United States and contribute greatly. My parents entered the United States as permanent residents in 1956 from Cuba. It's a process that's enriched us. But it has to be a process that's adjusted in every era to the realities of the modern times in which you live. We are, and it's long overdue. So the United States is currently undergoing a process of reforming the system by which we choose how many people come into our country, who comes in, when they come in, cetera. Anytime you undertake a reform, any time you undertake a change in the system by which you admit people, there's going to be a period of transition that's going to create some friction points and some difficulties and so forth... It is not a system that is targeted at India; it is one that's being applied globally. But we're in a period of transition, and like any period of transition, there's going to be some bumps on that road. But we think ultimately our destination is going to be a better system, a more efficient system, one that works better than the one that we had in place previously and more sustainable by the way."

#WATCH | Delhi: At the joint press conference with EAM Dr S Jaishankar, US Secretary of State Marco Rubio says, "I have to go back and justify to the American people every decision we make, and the President has to do the same on why it's good for our country, and our counterparts here in India have to do the exact same thing... I imagine this is true in every country in the world to some degree, but it is particularly true for democracies... In democracies, you have opposition parties. You have a free and open media. By the you have a lot of media. You guys have a lot of media, which means a lot of scrutiny and a lot of attention. But that begins to align our interests immediately, because we both recognise and have mutual respect and understanding that every decision we make, every announcement we make, everything we work together on, we ultimately have to go back and justify it to our voters, to our people, the people who put us in these positions to begin with..."
