A special evening at India House. Had the pleasure of hosting 12 Hon’ble Members of the U.S. House of Representatives. Welcomed the consistent, bipartisan support in the US Congress for the deepening India-US partnership—spanning wide-ranging conversations on trade and economic ties, cutting-edge technology and innovation, robust defence cooperation, and crucial counterterrorism efforts. India's strong economic growth—projected around 7%+ in the coming years—further strengthens this shared vision for prosperity and security.
