India ready to share strengths
and successes with the world:

India’s Ambassador to the U.S., Taranjit Singh Sandhu said Prime
Minister Narendra Modi and U.S. President Joe Biden believe that
democracies will deliver

India, the current G-20 president, is ready to share its strengths and successes
with the world, its envoy here has said, asserting that the India-U.S. partnership
will not only benefit the two countries but its rewards will be reaped around the
globe.

India assumed the year-long presidency of the G-20 in December last year and
aims to host a leaders’ summit in New Delhi in early September.
The G-20 is an important forum of the world’s 20 major developed and
developing economies.

“As the current president of the G-20, we are ready to share our strengths and
successes with the world— from vaccines and skills to the digital public good
as well as what we learn from others,” India’s Ambassador to the U.S., Taranjit
Singh Sandhu, said on April 15 while addressing a packed gathering of eminent
Indian-Americans at the India House here.

Mr. Sandhu said Prime Minister Narendra Modi and U.S. President Joe Biden
believe that democracies will deliver.

“Our cooperation today touches every conceivable domain; we are working

closely under Quad, I2U2 and IPEF. Our diaspora has given more wings to our
dreams and more winds to our sails. Ultimately, it is the people of both
countries that drive the India-U.S. partnership. Your success is our success. The
success of the India-U.S. partnership will not only be in the interest of India
and the U.S., but also the global good,” he said.

In January, India and the U.S. announced partnerships in the fields of

space, defence, semiconductors and next-generation technologies.

The bilateral agreement is another example of the U.S. strengthening ties in

strategic areas with New Delhi while isolating China.

Addressing the gathering, Mr. Sandhu said: “Nature nudges us to celebrate

togetherness what I will call the use of harmony, a true reflection of the
diversity of India. Today we bring together different religions, cultures, and
geographies.” He made these comments on a day when Navreh was being
celebrated in Kashmir, Vaisakhi in Punjab and north India, Vishu in Kerala,
Ugadi in Andhra Pradesh and Telangana, Gudi Padwa in Maharashtra, Bihu in
Assam, Poila Boisakh in West Bengal, Mahavir Jayanti, Easter, Ramadan, Eid
and the Jewish festival of Passover.

“India is a beautiful garland of diverse colours. We love and enjoy each of

these festivals in the spirit of spring,” he said.

Ambassador Sandhu also paid glowing tributes to Dr. Bhim Rao

Ambedkar, the architect of the Indian Constitution on his 132nd birth
anniversary.

“Dr. Ambedkar studied at Columbia University here in the U.S., which played
an important role in shaping his thoughts and vision. We know people, three
small words with which the Indian and American Constitution start to reflect
the story of liberty, freedom, non-violence, and rule of law, that we both
nourish and cherish as nations,” Mr. Sandhu said.

Mr. Sandhu said, 75 years ago, when independent India was born, “we were a
nation, fighting for our own survival. We had to depend on others, even for our
basic needs, such as food. Neither history nor geography gave us comfort."
“Today, India is the fifth largest economy globally; world’s second largest
agricultural producer; home to the third largest tech ecosystem in the world,
creating a unicorn almost every week; running the world’s largest renewable
energy expansion programme; largest financial inclusion programme; the
largest producer of generic drugs globally and the world’s largest producer of
movies,” he added.

The event was attended by Finance Minister, Nirmala Sitharaman, U.S.

Commerce Secretary Gina Raimondo, Kurt Campbell, the Indo-Pacific
Coordinator of U.S. National Security Council, General Atomics Chief
Executive Vivek Lall, White House drug czar Dr. Rahul Gupta and other
eminent Indian-Americans.
