Assuring Indians settled in the United States that a new India is in the making, Prime Minister Manmohan Singh said their creativity, work ethic and entrepreneurship had helped greatly transform the image of the country of their origin in American minds.
Speaking at a reception organised by Indian Ambassador Ronen Sen for him here yesterday, Singh affirmed that during the last two days of his visit to the US, groundwork had been laid for a new relationship between the two countries.
"I saw a different level of interest in India on the part of the President himself, key members of the adminstration and among members of the US Congress," he said.
The discussion he had with President Bush would mark a transformation of ties between the two great democracies, Singh said.
"Initiatives and understandings that emerge from this visit should contribute to the long-term strength and competitiveness of India," the Prime Minister said.
"For me, this visit represents an important step in our journey towards reform and modernisation that began in 1991," he said.
