Indian Ambassador to the US, Vinay Mohan Kwatra, on Thursday hosted 12 Members of the US House of Representatives and held discussions on deepening the India-US partnership, spanning a wide range of issues.
Kwatra said that India’s strong economic growth projections further strengthen the shared vision of prosperity between the two countries.
“A special evening at India House. Had the pleasure of hosting 12 Hon’ble Members of the U.S. House of Representatives. Welcomed the consistent, bipartisan support in the US Congress for deepening the India-US partnership—spanning wide-ranging conversations on trade and economic ties, cutting-edge technology and innovation, robust defence cooperation, and crucial counterterrorism efforts. India’s strong economic growth—projected at around 7 per cent or more in the coming years—further strengthens this shared vision for prosperity and security,” he said.
Kwatra also shared glimpses of his interaction with the lawmakers.
“Welcomed Deborah Ross and Rob Wittman, co-chairs of the Congressional Study Group on India. This is an initiative to augment India’s engagement with the U.S. House of Representatives and Senate and is supported by the Association of Former Members of Congress and the Roundglass Foundation,” he said in a post on X.
“Grateful for the presence of Jim Costa, Bill Huizenga, Ami Bera, and Donald Norcross. Appreciated their perspectives on various aspects of the bilateral relationship,” he said.
“Welcomed the support of Ron Estes, Chrissy Houlahan, Jay Obernolte and their guidance for strengthening our partnership,” he added.
“Valued the constructive exchanges on key pillars of bilateral cooperation with the new members of the 119th Congress—Nathaniel Moran, Julie Johnson, and Jefferson Shreve,” he said.
Earlier on Thursday, Kwatra met US Senator Steve Daines and discussed the bilateral relationship.
In a post on X, he said, “Honored to welcome and host Senator Steve Daines at India House. We discussed various facets of our bilateral partnership, including developments in trade, technology and innovation, and the evolving global landscape. Deeply appreciate and value his useful insights and strong support for the bilateral relationship.”
