'India's role on global stage is...': Joe Biden govt official on US-India ties, G20 presidency

In a fresh sign of India's increasing significance in global matters, the United States of America said that Delhi's role on the international stage is continuing to grow.

Deputy Assistant Secretary of State for South and Central Asia, Nancy Izzo Jackson said that India's presidency of the G20 will help the country intensify its growth in every sphere. She added that like India's global role, the US-India relationship is also growing.

The comments were made at an interaction organised by Ajay Jain Bhutoria, a member of the President's Advisory Commission on Asian Americans, Native Hawaiians, and Pacific Islanders, wherein a visiting team of senior State Department officials met eminent Indian-American community members to brief them on the status of India-US ties, the importance of the diaspora in this, and address their questions.

"Such an initiative by the State Department was very much welcomed and appreciated by the community," Bhutoria said after the event adding that the community in Silicon Valley got first-hand information on India-US relationship and an opportunity to ask direct questions to senior officials from the State Department.
