The Ambassador said even through difficult times, one of the commendable aspects of the community has been "to be good Indians, good Americans" and consequently, be good Indian- Americans.

Observing that the relationship has grown enormously, Jaishankar said the "time has come to set new goals... ambitious goals for ourselves".

He identified energy and education as the two sectors where India and the United States can enhance their bilateral partnership, in addition to the strategic and defence relationship to ensure a safer, prosperous and peaceful world.

In the next three years, the U.S. would emerge as one of the major energy providers to New Delhi when it would start shipping natural gas to India, Jaishankar said.

Coinciding with the new envoy's public reception by the community, Maryland Governor Martin Joseph O'Malley proclaimed February 15 as 'S Jaishankar Day' in recognition of his role in strengthening India-US relationship.

The citation in this regard was read and presented by Maryland Secretary of State Rajan Natarajan.
