        provide global leadership in areas of mutual concern and interest;
Whereas the Prime Minister of India, His Excellency Dr. Manmohan Singh, has

        and the growth of a middle class;
Whereas Americans of Indian origin have made diverse and numerous contributions 
        to the United States; and
