Mumbai: US Senator Jon Ossoff from Georgia arrived here on an eight-day India visit to strengthen economic, scientific, cultural, and security ties between the two countries.
“I am leading a US delegation to strengthen the friendship between our nations and to meet the next generation of Indian leaders,” he said.
“We will also work to represent the Indian American community in Georgia, where the growing Indian diaspora is a thriving and beloved part of our community,” he added.
Ossoff is the youngest US Senator elected in three decades. He is 35.
