Mumbai (Maharashtra): On Tuesday, US Ambassador to India Eric Garcetti emphasized the importance of the relationship, stressing that it was "multiplicative" and not founded on expediency or calculation.

"There is a significant awakening taking place in the US and India. The US and India do not make for a more beneficial partnership. It's a relationship of multiplicity. When India and the US are together, it is India times the US," Garcetti said while speaking on India-US relations at the USC-India Innovation Summit on Tuesday.

He said that the foundation of the bilateral ties is built on four Ps -- peace, prosperity, planet and people.Whether it was our G20 dual diplomacy, the work we're doing in the health sector, or the way we can approach the task of bringing about world peace. The US envoy stated, "The four P's, as I refer to them, are the cornerstone of our vision here as Americans in India through the mission of peace, prosperity, planet, and people.

According to Garcetti, he accepted the ambassadorship after US President Joe Biden informed him that India was his top priority.
