U.S. Ambassador to India Eric Garcetti said the state visit of Prime Minister Narendra Modi will go down in history as the “turning of a page”
U.S. Ambassador to India Eric Garcetti said the state visit of Prime Minister Narendra Modi will go down in history as the “turning of a page” and starting of a “bold new chapter” in India-U.S. relations.
He also said that it is more than a relationship between the two countries. "It’s a friendship, it's genuine and it’s deep.” “I think this visit will go down in history as the turning of a page and the starting of a bold new chapter in America and India relations. It's the culmination of years and even decades of work,” Mr. Garcetti told PTI in an interview.
He also said that it has leapfrogged beyond many of the expectations, whether it's been a personal relationship between Prime Minister Modi and President Joe Biden, whether it was breadth and depth of the work done by the governments, or whether it was the people to people ties, business leaders and cultural leaders and everyday Americans and Indians.

“This really is about the future. And I think America and India are the future, stronger together and showing a vision of how we can create a more prosperous world for everyone if this relationship deepens,” Mr. Garcetti said.
On the takeaways from the visit, Mr. Garcetti noted the four Ps — peace, prosperity, planet, and people.
He said when it comes to peace, real defence deliverables and the sharing of deeper technology than the United States has done, even with most of its closest allies, on prosperity, “finally putting trade disputes behind us, deepening the technological cooperation and supply chains, on the issue of the planet, work of climate, space and ocean.

Pakistan coach Gary Kirsten stated that “not so great decision making” contributed to his side’s defeat to India in the Group-A T20 World Cup clash here on Sunday. The batting unit came apart in the chase, after being well placed at 72 for two. With 48 runs needed from eight overs, Pakistan found a way to panic and lose. “Maybe not so great decision making,” Kirsten said at the post-match press conference, when asked to explain the loss.
