Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Wednesday met an eight-member Congressional delegation from the US.
He
said after the meeting that a strong bipartisan support from the US
Congress is instrumental in elevating ties between both the nations.
"Glad
to receive a Congressional delegation from US, including co-chairs of
India Caucus in the House of Representatives, Rep. @RoKhanna and Rep.
@michaelgwaltz. Strong bipartisan support from the US Congress is
instrumental in further elevating India-US Comprehensive Global
Strategic Partnership," he tweeted after the meeting.
The US Congressional delegation had arrived in India last week for a visit to Mumbai and New Delhi.

delegation had also attended the Independence Day function at Red Fort
on August 15, where the prime minister has delivered his speech.
They had also met External Affairs Minister S. Jaishankar.
"A
good interaction with US Congressional delegation today. Glad they
could join as we celebrated #IndependenceDay. Discussed the
transformation underway in India, especially its outcomes of better
governance.
"Also exchanged views on our advancing bilateral
partnership. Shared perspectives on the global situation and our
collaboration on multilateral, regional and global issues," Jaishankar
had commented on X (formerly Twitter) after the meeting.
