Washington, Oct 14 (PTI) Noting that the ties between the
US and India has come a long way in the last one decade, an
influential US lawmaker has said that the two nations have
only "scratched" the surface of the potential of partnership.

"Our two nations have only scratched the surface of our
potential for partnership. India and America share common
interests and values," Senator John Cornyn, said in a
statement issued to congratulate the 10 years of the
Indo-American Chamber of Commerce of Greater Houston.

"India is an anchor of stability in Asia. We share
democratic values -– including individual liberty, pluralism,
and the rule of law," said Cornyn who is the Co-founder and
co-chairman of the Senate India Caucus.

"We recognise the power of trade, investment, and the
entrepreneurial spirit to create opportunity. We condemn
terrorism, extremism, and all the ideologies of hatred," he
said.

Cornyn said: "Like the Indo-American Chamber, the
partnership between our two nations has come a long way over
the last 10 years." PTI LKJ
