She elaborated how the countries continue to work closely together to advance a free, open, and prosperous Indo-Pacific region, citing recent discussions between U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio and Indian Foreign Minister S Jaishankar.

The celebrations will focus on fostering people-to-people relationships through investments, partnerships, educational opportunities, and eligible travel, ultimately strengthening the bond between the U.S. and India for a safer, stronger, and more prosperous shared future.
The month-long festivities will also pay tribute to those who have contributed to the global influence of American music, a cultural force that resonates deeply in India. Larson expressed, "We believe in the power of bringing people together to build vital relationships that drive positive change."
