US Representatives Democrat Ami Bera, the longest-serving Indian American Member of Congress, and Republican Joe Wilson have introduced a bipartisan resolution recognising the strategic value of the historical partnership between the United States and India.

 

 

The resolution highlights decades of deepening cooperation between two of the world’s largest democracies across critical sectors, including defence, technology, trade, counter-terrorism, and education. It also stressed India’s vital role in promoting regional stability, economic growth, and a free and open Indo-Pacific.

 

 

The measure calls for continued cooperation between the United States and India to confront 21st-century challenges from counterterrorism and cyber threats to emerging technologies. It also recognises the enduring people-to-people ties between the two nations, which continue to be strengthened by the Indian American diaspora. The resolution has garnered strong bipartisan support with 24 total original cosponsors.
