In his goodbye speech to the Indian-American community at the end of his three-day US visit, Prime Minister Modi said, “In the last three days, a new and glorious journey has started for India-US relations.” He added, “‘Together India and US are not just forming policies and agreements, we are shaping lives, dreams and destinies”

“The partnership between India and the United States will make the world better in the 21st Century. You all play a crucial role in this partnership,” said PM Modi while addressing the Indian diaspora at Ronald Reagan Center, Washington. “The biggest driving force of India’s growth story is the aspiration of the Indian people, which is not very different from the American dream,” said the PM, adding that “extreme poverty is fast diminishing in India, while the middle-class and neo-middle class are rapidly expanding.”

“In order to fulfil the aspirations of these people, whatever India is going to do, has opened immense possibilities for America as well,” he remarked, mentioning an increasing demand in India in the aviation sector. “To fulfil this demand, Indian airlines are ordering hundreds of aircraft from American companies, and jobs are being created here.”
