US Secretary of State Marco Rubio has greeted the people of India on its 80th Independence Day, asserting that bilateral ties were stronger than ever due to the personal relationship between President Donald Trump and Prime Minister Narendra Modi. “On behalf of the United States of America, I extend warm congratulations to the people of India on their Independence Day,” Rubio said.
He said from defence and energy security to critical minerals, artificial intelligence, space cooperation, and commerce, US-India collaboration is making both nations, and the broader Indian Ocean region, safer, stronger, and more prosperous. Several US states have issued proclamations commemorating August 15 as India Day.
