The United States extended greetings to India on Republic Day. US Secretary of State Marco Rubio said as India commemorates the adoption of its Constitution, the United States joins them in recognising its enduring significance as the foundation of the world’s largest democracy. He said the US looks forward to deepening the cooperation between the two countries and stressed the importance of the Quad to promote a “free, open, and prosperous” Indo-Pacific region. Rubio also expressed hope that the India-US relationship continues to reach new heights and will be the defining relationship of the 21st century.
