WELCOMING PRIME MINISTER NARENDRA MODI
(Mr. WILSON of South Carolina asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
Mr. WILSON of South Carolina. Mr. Speaker, the U.S.-India partnership is strong and mutually vital. It is strengthened with a vibrant Indian-
American community assimilated with fantastic economic success.
We are grateful Prime Minister Narendra Modi is in America to attend the gathering of global world leaders.
Here are a few great examples of our partnership: bilateral trade reached $150 billion; over 2,000 American companies have a presence in India; every U.S. State exports to India, creating over 260,000 jobs; Indian students enrolled in U.S. colleges contributed over $8 billion to our economy.
An effective organization is AMCHAM India, with President Salil Gupte of Boeing, and William Blair, Ranjana Khanna, and Valerie Swope, who work with President KV Kumar of the Indian American International Chamber of Commerce, coordinating with Governor Henry McMaster of South Carolina and Consul General Swati Kulkarni in Atlanta.
In conclusion, God bless our troops, who successfully protected America for 20 years as the global war on terrorism continues, moving from abroad to our neighborhoods.
