While greeting the United States of America on its Independence Day, Prime Minister Narendra Modi expressed confidence on Saturday that bilateral relations between the two counties will get even better in times to come due to renewed energy in ties.
“The ties between India and the US are time-tested and connected by shared values. We are both vibrant democracies and remain very proud of our democratic framework,” PM tweeted. “I am extremely excited and confident about the renewed energy in India-USA ties. Our economic ties are very strong and our cultural ties are vibrant. last year I visited USA and in January this year, President Barack Obama came to India and became the first ever President of USA to join our Republic Day celebrations as chief guest. Substantial ground was covered during both these visits as far as strengthening India-US ties are concerned,” Modi added.
PM said that strong India-US ties will benefit people of “our nations and the world at large.”
The US observes July 4 as its Independence Day, commemorating the adoption of the Declaration of Independence in 1776, declaring that the 13 American colonies regarded themselves as a new nation and no longer part of the British Empire.
