India and the US are together building a foundation for a strong, peaceful and harmonious global community, Union Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman has said.. "When we celebrate diversity, celebrate inclusiveness, it is also the point that we share a lot of positive thoughts when we are doing this," the Finance Minister said.. Today when "we celebrate togetherness, it is that spirit which governs India and US relationship: a positive thinking relationship of two democracies, which have their own share of challenges and their own share of internal problems, but we don't allow them to overwhelm us", she said...

The Minister was addressing Indian Americans at an event organised by the Indian Embassy here to celebrate the country's diversity...

That's where, I think, the contribution of the Indian diaspora, here people of Indian origin, to the U.S. is very important," she said...

When people talk about digital achievements of India, the achievements are purely because the platforms have languages, "which are at least 15, as recognised by the Constitution of India, there are more such languages", she said...

"I wish this relationship between the U.S. and India grows from strength to strength," said the Finance Minister at the event that among others was also attended US Commerce Secretary Gina Raimondo, Kurt Campbell, the Indo Pacific Coordinator of US National Security Council, General Atomics Chief Executive Vivel Lall, White House official Dr Rahul Gupta..
