Washington:  Despite some recent concerns on both sides, representatives of U.S. business and industry are agreed that there is enormous potential for growth in India-U.S. trade and notably job creation in both countries.

This appeared to be the consensus emerging from a roundtable hosted by Ami Bera, the lone Indian-American member of the U.S. House of Representatives, here Thursday for members of the U.S.-India Business Council (USIBC) and the Confederation of Indian Industry (CII).

More than 40 representatives from several industries including technology, manufacturing, agriculture, retail, hospitality attended the round table, according to a statement issued by Bera's office.

"As the world's oldest and largest democracies, the U.S. and India are natural allies," said Bera, who is also a member of the House Foreign Affairs Committee, sharing the insights gained from his recent trip to India.

"Our countries must work together to continue to grow our economic partnership and trade relationship."
