New Delhi. US Secretary of State Marco Rubio unveiled the US Consulate office in Delhi. While speaking in the program, Rubio said, there is a deep and personal relationship between US President Donald Trump and Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi.

“Just in the past year, we have seen the partnership between Trump and Modi deepen in ways that don’t often make headlines or sensationalize, but are important, real, solid and enduring,” Rubio said. We have expanded trade relations. We have further strengthened our security partnership through military exercises in the Indo-Pacific region. We are introducing a new ‘America First’ visa scheduling tool that prioritizes business professionals who strengthen these relationships. But this facility is not only for those applying for visa. This also applies to the Americans who work here. For the men and women who serve on the front lines every day to advance America’s national interests and national security.
