US President Barack Obama said that USA welcomes the
role of Indian-Americans sought by Prime Minister Narendra Modi for the
development of India.
“Prime Minister Modi has
called on the Indian diaspora in the United States which is very large
and very successful to contribute their talents to India’s progress. And
that’s something that we welcome,” Mr. Obama said after his hour-long
meeting with Mr. Modi at the UN headquarters here wherein the Prime
Minister spoke about his weekend trip to Silicon Valley and how this
would help the development of India.
“I was in
Silicon Valley over the weekend. I experienced the strength of American
innovation and enterprise that provide the foundation of American
success. I also saw the driving force of our relationship - youth,
technology and innovation - and the natural partnership of Indians and
Americans in advancing human progress,” Mr. Modi said.
Referring to his visit to California, Mr. Modi informed Obama about the
conversations he had relating to startups, renewable energy and how the
visit would probably lead to many new technology partnerships between
India and US.
In this context he also referred to
the Start Up Konnect event where 40 startups from India had come to
basically benefit from the ecosystem that already exists in the Silicon
Valley and how India would create a similar ecosystem where startups
would eventually scale up to larger entities, External Affairs Ministry
spokesperson Vikas Swarup said.
