Tulsi Gabbard In India: Partnership Between India, US And Our Leaders Will Continue To Grow

US Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard expressed confidence that the partnership and friendship between the US and India and Prime Minister Narendra Modi and US President Donald Trump will continue to grow and strengthen. In her remarks at Raisina Dialogue on Tuesday, Gabbard expressed happiness on being back in India and called it a warm experience knowing the rich history of India. She began her address by greeting the audience with 'Jai Shree Krishna.' Gabbard said, "It is great for me to be back here in India. It's been too long, but it's always such a wonderful and warm experience knowing the rich history of this country and the vibrant democracy that really serves as the foundation for the special bond that has long existed between our two countries. I wanted to start our conversation today by greeting you with 'Aloha' and 'Namaste'. Contrary to popular belief, these words are not just greetings. They actually both have very deep, spiritual, powerful meanings that, for me, have been at the core and heart of my life and are what I hope will inspire meaningful dialogue and conversations here at Raisina. When we greet each other with 'Aloha' and 'Namaste', what it really means is that I am coming to you and greeting you with respect."
