                      Thursday, September 23, 2021

  Mr. FERGUSON. Madam Speaker, I rise today to recognize one of our 
global partners, Prime Minister of India Narendra Modi, who is in 
Washington, D.C. this week for the Quadrilateral Security Dialogue, 
also known as the Quad Summit, a strategic conversation between the 
United States, India, Japan, and Australia.
  America and India have a strong and valuable partnership, which has 
allowed both nations to flourish. Welcoming the wide range of 
collaborative activities undertaken to improve their citizens' lives, 
we must work to revitalize our existing alliance and find new areas for 
collaboration and mutual benefit.
  I was grateful to meet with the Consulate General of India in Georgia 
Dr. Swati V. Kulkarni earlier this month, where I reaffirmed my 
commitment to deepening our ties and advancing practical cooperation 
between our two countries in combatting COVID-19, partnering on 
emerging technologies and cyberspace, and promoting a free and open 
Indo-Pacific.

  Madam Speaker, I ask my colleagues to join me in celebrating the 
longstanding and special relationship between the United States and 
India.
