Today, after Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi spoke to a joint-session of Congress, Congressman French Hill (AR-02) released the following statement: “In central Arkansas, we are fortunate to have a strong Indian community that is comprised of great members of our professional and business communities and who work diligently to promote economic and cultural ties between India and the United States. I was delighted that my friend and local Little Rock business and civic leader, Shash Goyal, was able to join me today to hear Prime Minister Modi deliver his remarks to Congress. As the head of our largest democratic partner in the world, Prime Minister Modi is a key ally of the United States. I was encouraged by his understanding and belief that our two nations must build upon our shared values, our economic partnership, and our strategic national security needs to grow democracy throughout the world.” Additional Information: Congressman Hill is a member of Congressional Caucus on India and Indian-Americans. ### |
