On Day 3 of his US visit, PM Modi applauds role of Indian Americans for strong Indo-US ties
Indian Americans have played a significant role in the all-round development of the nation they live in and also in strengthening the India-US relationship, Prime Minister Narendra Modi said on Thursday, June 22, 2023.
Mr. Modi was addressing the State Dinner hosted in his honour by U.S. President Joe Biden and First Lady Jill Biden at the North Lawn of the White House.
More than 400 guests were invited for the dinner and they included big names in the tech world and billionaire industrialists such as Mukesh Ambani, Anand Mahindra, Google CEO Sunder Pichai, Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella and Apple CEO Tim Cook.
During his address at the State Dinner, Mr. Modi raised a toast for his "wonderful" hosts. He raised it for good health, prosperity and the pursuit of happiness to liberty, equality and fraternity, and to the ever-lasting bonds of friendship between India and the US.
"With every passing day, Indians and Americans are getting to know each other better. We can pronounce each other's names correctly. We can understand each other's accent better. Children in India become Spider Man on Halloween, and America's youth is dancing to the tune of Naatu Naatu'," the Prime Minister said.
Americans love baseball, but cricket is also becoming popular in the US, he said. "The American team is trying its best to qualify for the Cricket World Cup to be held in India later this year. I wish them good luck and success," the Prime Minister said.
Mr. Modi told Mr. Biden that he has gathered a group of exceptionally talented and remarkable people tonight. "I must commend you for that. These people symbolise so much about India-US relations, our energy, our dynamism and our nation," he said.
