It looks forward to a continuation of that,” White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki told reporters at her daily news conference.
The press secretary further added that Kamala Harris ,who was elected as the first Indian-American vice president of the US, is a historic moment.
“The first Indian-American to serve as president or Vice President is certainly a historic moment for all of us in this country and a further cementing of the importance of our relationship,” he added.
The statement came two days after Joe Biden and Kamla Harris took oath as the president and vice president of the US, respectively.
