Good to see the relationship moving beyond just talks to concrete agreements. The US-made aircraft in our Republic Day parade was a powerful visual. But we must ensure these partnerships benefit our 'Make in India' goals and don't just make us a market for foreign goods.

While the partnership is important, we should be cautious. Our foreign policy has always been about non-alignment. We must balance our relations with the US with our historic ties to Russia and other nations. Let's not put all our eggs in one basket.

As someone working in the tech sector, I see the real benefits of this partnership every day. The collaboration on semiconductors, space, and AI is creating jobs and opportunities for young Indians. This is the way forward for a developed India by 2047.

Ambassador Gor calling our Republic Day a celebration of the Constitution and democratic spirit shows a deeper understanding. It's more than just a military or trade relationship; it's a partnership of shared values. Good diplomacy by our EAM.

The discussions on the Indo-Pacific and Ukraine are key. India's voice is important on the global stage. We need to maintain our independent stance while working with partners like the US for regional stability. Jai Hind!
