Acknowledging the broad bipartisan support enjoyed by India-US relations
on Capitol Hill, key US lawmakers and officials alike have vowed to
seize the "moment of great opportunity."
Expression of support
for deepening the strategic ties between the world's oldest and largest
democracies came at a reception by House India caucus Thursday to
welcome the new Indian Ambassador to the US, Nirupama Rao.
"This
is a maturing relationship that would continue to grow and mature,"
Democrat co-chair of the caucus Joseph Crowley said. His Republican
counterpart Ed Royce agreed, "The potential for much more is there. Both
nations need to work towards raising the bar."
Deputy Secretary of State William Burns said India and the United States have "reached a moment of great opportunity." The
two nations together "can shape for the better of not only the future
of our own societies but of the entire international community and the
new century unfolding before us," he said.
The House India Caucus
has been a tremendous source of strength in promoting India-US
relations for almost two decades now, Rao said noting "the bipartisan
support that the caucus showcases speaks of the enduring strength of our
ties."
"Today, it is indeed an exciting time in India-US
relations when we have a virtually limitless horizon of what we can do
together," she said.
