India has set an example for South Asia and the world by supporting democracy, diversity and the rule of law, the US said today while greeting the country on its Independence Day. In his message on behalf of the United States of America on the occasion of India’s 72st Independence Day, US Secretary of State Michael Pompeo lauded the contribution of the vibrant Indian-American diaspora and young students in strengthening ties between America and India.
“On this Indian Independence Day, we congratulate India — a unique civilization, fellow democracy, and a friend — on taking its rightful place as a leading global power and continuing our shared efforts to sustain the rules-based order,” he said.
