Press Release

U.S. Sen. Mark R. Warner, (D-VA), co-chair of the bipartisan Senate India Caucus, will travel with President Obama to attend India's Republic Day celebration marking the 65th anniversary of the adoption of India's constitution. The U.S. delegation will arrive in New Delhi on Sunday to attend Republic Day events and meet with Indian leaders to discuss strengthening and expanding the US-India strategic partnership. Other members of Congress traveling with the President include California Rep. Ami Bera, the only Indian-American member of Congress, and New York Rep. Joe Crowley, former chair of the House India Caucus. The delegation is scheduled to return to Washington early Wednesday.

"I am very pleased to represent Virginia, and my colleagues in the Senate's bipartisan India Caucus, as part of the President's delegation," Sen. Warner said. "As two of the world's largest democracies, and with the incredible Indian American population that contributes so much to Virginia's culture and commerce, it is critical for us to continue to deepen and broaden the existing framework of partnership and friendship between the United States and India."
