Modi's efforts will benefit all : Kerry
While addressing a press conference at the Vibrant India summit here, Kerry also said he was impressed with the 'palpable entrepreneurial interest' of the people of Gujarat.
"PM Modi made his reputation here in Gujarat. If that can be extrapolated to the rest of India and dealing with all countries, we all benefit," he said in an apparent reference to the economic strides Gujarat made when Modi was its Chief Minister.
"The PM has a very ambitious plan that every home in India will have 24-hour electricity and we hope we can do a great deal to help with that," he said.
Kerry was here ahead of ahead of US President Barack Obama's visit as the chief guest at the January 26 Republic Day celebrations.
The US Secretary of State said he has met Modi three times in the last six months and reviewed the bilateral relationship. Kerry said he he was convinced that India and the US "will create a healthier, more secure and prosperous future."
Kerry said US companies were showing keen interest in doing business in India.
"We are all invested in this relationship because we recognise what this offers to us, and also what it demands of us," he said.
