TIL Desk/National/Washington/ Prime Minister Narendra Modi has said the governments of India and the US have done the groundwork for the business community of the two countries and it is now the responsibility of the corporate sector to take advantage of this and proposer.
Addressing business leaders and philanthropists from India and the US as well as other prominent members of the Indian-American community at the Kennedy Centre in Washington, DC on Friday, he stressed that the India-US partnership is not of convenience but one of conviction, shared commitments and compassion.
Modi said that in the last three days of his State Visit to the US, several historic steps have been taken to further strengthen bilateral ties. From defence to aviation, applied materials to manufacturing, and the IT and space sectors, India and the US are now moving forward as most reliable partners, Prime Minister Modi said at the event organised by the US-India Strategic Partnership Forum.
He urged the business community to step forward and take full advantage of this opportunity. Every development project of India has the capacity to further strengthen the American dream, Modi said, citing that India was investing a record USD 125 billion in infrastructure development. In India’s growth story, there are unlimited opportunities for America and for the country’s corporate community, he said.
