Washington, May 4 (PTI) India is a trusted friend of the
United States and an important ally in addressing the various
global challenges which both the countries faced, a top
Democratic Senator has said.
"India is a trusted friend to America and an important
ally in addressing the global challenges that both our
countries face," Senator Christopher Dodd said on Sunday after
receiving the 'Friend of India' award from the Connecticut
chapter of Global Organisation of People of Indian Origin.
"I am honoured to receive this award and have been proud
to play a role in developing the relationship between our two
countries.
"I'm looking forward to continuing my work on
strengthening US-India relations in the Senate India Caucus
during my last months in the Senate and beyond," he said.
Dodd, Co-chairman of the Senate India Caucus and Chairman
of the Senate Banking Committee, received the award for his
leadership in advancing economic and political cooperation
between India and the US and for his years of support to the
Indian American community.
"Americans of Indian descent have become part of the rich
fabric of Connecticut and the United States, and their
contributions to our economy and our culture can be seen all
across our state and our country," he said.
The Democratic Senator joined the Senate India Caucus as
its Co-chairman last June.
The bipartisan coalition promotes Indo-US relationship,
based on mutual trust and respect, increasing close
collaboration across a broad spectrum of strategic interests,
like combating terrorism and promoting democracy, economic
development, human rights, scientific research and natural
disaster relief. PTI LKJ
