WASHINGTON – U.S. Sen. Mark R. Warner (D-VA), co-chair of the bipartisan U.S. Senate India Caucus, released the following statement today on the successful completion of India’s general elections:
“I offer my congratulations to the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and Narendra Modi, and I look forward to working with the new Indian government to move the U.S.-India relationship forward. Once the new government is formed, both the U.S. and India should commit to accomplish some specific actions in the first 100 days to demonstrate that we can work together to get things done. I believe opportunities exist in the areas of defense trade, energy, and foreign direct investment, as well as further efforts to advance the bilateral investment treaty.”
