WASHINGTON: The US-India relationship is significant not only for the two countries but also for the global good, outgoing Indian Ambassador to the US Taranjit Singh Sandhu has said, stressing that the bilateral ties are destined to grow big.
Addressing a group of some 200 eminent Indian Americans from across the US on Saturday, Sandhu, who retires from the Indian Foreign Service at month-end after an illustrious 35-year career, urged them to ensure that the second generation remains connected to India and they travel to the country frequently.
“You must ensure that your children remain invested in India; they travel to India. Like so many other communities here in the US, you can ensure through your associations, through your groups because all of you can afford them going to India,” he said. “If there’s any issue regarding the security of the children, I can assure you the embassy and the consulates will help you out,” he said.
“But do send them. If they know India well, they will be hired by most of the international companies which will be moving into India,” Sandhu said.
