Obama's Three New Indian-Americans Advisers Sworn In
Recollecting his trip to India last year, Biden acknowledged the contribution of the AAPI community in all spheres of U.S. life.
"The combination of Asian-Americans and Pacific Islanders have done nothing, nothing but succeed, generation after generation," he said.
"Think of all of the businesses that have been built, from the corner stores to Silicon Valley giants like Yahoo. You have served our nation overseas," Biden said.
The commission's Indian American executive director Kiran Ahuja said: "AAPIs are fast on the rise."
"It's important to both recognise the community's great diversity and the importance of government and community working together to address the unique challenges we face," she added.
This year, the theme for AAPI Heritage Month is "I Am Beyond".
The phrase captures the aspirations of the American spirit and how Americans of Asian and Pacific Islander descent have always sought to excel beyond the challenges that have limited equal opportunity in America.
The event will continue throughout May, highlighting the community's many contributions to arts, sciences, government, military, commerce, and education.
