The U.S., she said believed that the "U.S.-India partnership - based on people-to-people ties and our shared values of democracy, liberty, and respect for religious and cultural diversity - will be one of the defining partnerships of this century". "And we look forward to continuing to partner with you as you share your story and successes with other countries around the world," Clinton said. "As you celebrate this special day with family, friends and loved ones, in Chennai, New Delhi or anywhere in between, know that the U.S. stands with you as a committed partner and friend," she added.
