Obama extends warmest wishes on India's Republic Day | US President Barack Obama has sent his and the American people's warmest wishes to India on the occasion of the country's 61st Republic Day. In statement released on his
behalf by the American Embassy in New Delhi , Obama said: "I send my warmest
wishes
on behalf of the American people to the people of India and to those here in America
and around the world who are celebrating Republic Day. As the world's largest
democracies, the United States and India have a strong shared belief in the values
of liberty, pluralism, and religious tolerance." He further went on to say: "This
Republic Day is particularly special because it marks India 's Diamond Jubilee.
In the sixty years since the Indian Constitution was adopted, we have built a
strong and vibrant partnership. I was pleased that Prime Minister Singh was the
honored guest for the first state dinner of my Presidency. It was a chance to
celebrate the great and growing partnership between our two Nations, and the
friendship
between our peoples. Indeed, the more than two million Indian Americans in the
United States enrich every corner of our great nation - leading in government,
science, industry and the arts." "And as our peoples continue to build upon that
friendship, let our governments continue to work together to advance peace,
prosperity,
and stability around the globe," he concluded. |
