India, A Critical American Partner In Asia: Indian-American Congressman Dr Ami Bera
Washington: India is a critical partner in Asia and the U.S. needs to strengthen its ties regardless of who becomes the Prime Minister of the world's largest democracy, the only Indian-American Congressman Dr Ami Bera has said.
The India-U.S. relationship "should not be tied to" one administration or government in either of the country, 48-year-old Bera, who represents seventh Congressional district in California, told PTI.
"It is not just economic partnership; it is also a geo- political relationship. It is a critical partnership and touches on the complexities of South Asia. India increasingly is becoming the foundation for South Asia," he said.
A first-generation American born and raised in California, Bera is only the third ever Indian-American to be elected to the U.S. House of Representatives. The previous two being Dalip Singh Saund (1957-63) and Bobby Jindal (2005-08).
