Since the beginning of the war in Ukraine, the United States has had continuous communications with India about what the two can do “together” to hold Russia “to account”, U.S. Ambassador to India Eric Garcetti said
India and the U.S. share the goals of “preventing this conflict from spreading, promoting stability in the Middle East, and efforts to establish a future Palestinian state”
Welcoming India’s support in providing humanitarian assistance for the people of Ukraine, Mr. Garcetti said that the U.S. appreciated the strength of the strategic partnership with India to “coordinate and exchange perspectives” on such challenges
Stating India has a close relationship with the people and government of Russia, Mr. Garcetti hoped that India could continue to play a “constructive role” towards peace
Quoting U.S. President Joe Biden, who had said that the U.S. and India share one of the “most consequential” relationships in the world
This, Mr. Garcetti said, is playing out in many ways, including a “game-changing” initiative to co-produce jet engines; a trade relationship of more than $190 billion; and more Indian students coming to study in the U.S. than ever before
