India-U.S. relationship truly an enduring story of love for ages: Eric Garcetti
The Hindu
Outgoing U.S. ambassador Eric Garcetti praises the strong U.S.-India partnership, calling India his "second home" in emotional farewell.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi and President Joe Biden raised the "compelling and consequential" partnership between the U.S. and India to new heights, outgoing U.S. ambassador Eric Garcetti said on Sunday (January 19, 2025).
"What was seen as unthinkable a generation ago will seem as indispensable a generation from now, thanks to the work of these leaders and the people of our nations," he said in a post on 'X' after meeting Mr. Modi.
In an emotional short video, the outgoing U.S. envoy described India as his "second home" and said that he is leaving as a "lifelong" friend and supporter of U.S.-India partnership for the future.
He said the India-U.S. relationship is "truly an enduring story of love for the ages" and that "we are only getting started".
"How do I say thank you to the most hospitable people in the world?" he said in the video.
"Your people's dosti and zinda-dili touched me every day. Your festivals, your music, your art, your cuisine— all have left an indelible mark on my soul," he added.
Mr. Garcetti, a political appointee of U.S. President Biden, is stepping down as the ambassador, paving the way for the Trump administration to appoint its new envoy to New Delhi.
