Garcetti said: "We celebrate all the many small steps and giant leaps the United States and India have taken together – and all the other milestones we’ve marked along our journey – as we build a future-focused relationship that extends from the seabed to the stars, and beyond.”
Consul General Melinda Pavek said, “From the seas of 1794 to the stars of 2024, we salute the small steps and giant leaps that have turned this U.S.-India moment into global momentum for the betterment of democracy.”
