Malegaon:
While issuing a resolution to celebrate the upcoming 63rd
anniversary of India’s independence, the United States Senate
applauded the contributions of Americans of Indian origin to society
in the United States.
The resolution was sponsored by Senator John Cornyn (Republican of
Texas) and supported by Senator Christopher Dodd (Democrat of
Connecticut).
In the resolution statement the Senate underscored that there were
over 2 million such Indian-Americans and they had made lasting
contributions in areas such as government, military and law
enforcement offices, reports The Hindu correspondent Narayan
Lakshman from Washington.
The US Senate also affirmed that it remained committed to fostering
and advancing the strategic relationship between the U.S. and India
in the future.
In that regard the Senate reiterated the significance of areas of
cooperation between the two countries including civilian nuclear
power, counterterrorism, democracy promotion, regional economic
development, human rights and scientific research.
Senator Cornyn played a key role in the creation of the Senate India
Caucus in 2004. It is one of the first country-specific associations
in the U.S. Congress.
