The caucus, which reached a record membership of 145 in the previous Congress, plays a key role in advancing national security, economic ties, and strategic cooperation between the two nations. 



McCormick, who represents a district with a strong Indian American presence, had earlier stated, "I have the great privilege of serving many hardworking Indian Americans in my district and will continue to strengthen our relationship with India.”

Aghi reiterated the bipartisan nature of the U.S.-India partnership, highlighting shared priorities in trade, defense, science and technology, energy, and people-to-people ties. He expressed optimism about working closely with Congressman McCormick’s office to further enhance bilateral cooperation.

During his discussion with Congressman Jonathan L. Jackson (D-IL-01), a member of the House Foreign Affairs Committee, Aghi focused on multiple avenues to bolster the U.S.-India partnership. He specifically noted the Midwest region’s significance as a thriving hub for the Indian diaspora, referencing Chicago’s Devon Street, known as "Little India." 



Aghi also conveyed his eagerness to collaborate with Congressman Jackson to deepen economic and strategic engagement.
