Prime Minister Narendra Modi's just concluded US visit has strengthened the bonds between the two largest democracies of the world and opened up new avenues of co-operation, top American lawmakers have said. "There are many different areas and sectors where the US and India's growing friendship will cover mutually beneficial ground. Prime Minister Modi's second visit to the US has allowed us to continue to strengthen those bonds and explore new opportunities for us to work together," Democratic Congresswoman from Hawaii, Tulsi Gabbard, said.
Congresswoman Loretta Sanchez, who also met Modi in San Jose, said Modi's visit to Silicon Valley is symbol of the collaboration and cooperation between the US and India. Congressman Matt Salmon said the India and the US were natural partners. "Our growing cooperation on issues like counter-terrorism, peacekeeping, and maritime security is a
positive development for the region and the world," he said.
"At the same time, our economic and commercial ties have not kept pace with our deepening political ties," he said.
