Blinken said that there is a "unique connection" between India and US and the two nations see deep bonds between people who participate in exchange programs.
US Secretary of State Antony Blinken on Monday said that the trajectory of the India-US partnership is unthinkable and filled with promise.
Blinken addressed the US-India Business Council's India Ideas Summit in Washington DC. The annual USIBC summit is part of the US Chambers of Commerce and is being conducted ahead of the upcoming state visit of Prime Minister Narendra Modi to the US on June 22.
Blinken spoke about the unique relationship between the world's oldest and largest democracies and added that there is still work to be done to advance transparency, promote market access and strengthen the respective democracies to unleash the full potential for the people.
"We know that India and the United States are big, complicated countries. We certainly have work to do to advance transparency, to promote market access, to strengthen our democracies, to unleash the full potential of our people. But, the trajectory of this partnership is unmistakable and it is filled with promise," Blinken said.
