Indian diaspora vital for India-US ties: Modi

Prime Minister Narendra Modi lauded the people of India and USA, especially the Indian Diaspora, for close ties between the two countries.

In a letter to Dr Krishna Reddy, Founder Chairman of Indian American Friendship Council (IAFC), Modi said,"the partnership between India and the USA is based on our mutual interest and shared commitment towards democracy and universal values. The flourishing of ties between the two nations has been made possible by people in both nations and the Indian Diaspora in particular."
