Referring to this, Indian Ambassador to the US, Arun K Singh said, this reflects their interest in India-US relationship. "I believe all of you will have an important role to play in contributing to this. All of you in a sense are permanent Ambassadors here. You have an understanding of the US. You have an understanding of India and Indian society. So based on this understanding and the network that you have you will be in a position to take forward this relationship in different areas," Singh said.
