India, Jaitley said, is going through a very transformational change.

"It's a change where we can see the role ahead of us," he said.

The role is to strengthen the economy, get rid of several legacies of the past so that the government is
able to serve its people the most it can, Jaitley said.

The India-US relationship is stronger than ever, Jaitley said.

The Indo-US partnership now extends to various fields.

Jaitley said, it is not merely a partnership in terms of business activity, or creation of smart cities, or skill development, it is a partnership in strategic areas that impacts the lives of the people of the two nations.
