The India-US relationship has never been better, US envoy to India Eric Garcetti has said, asserting that ties between the two strategic partners are not just "addictive" but also "multiplicative".
Garcetti made the remarks on Monday at an event on the sidelines of the SelectUSA Investment Summit, to which the largest delegation is from India.

Garcetti underlined that the relationship between India and the US has never been better.
We've never had a closer relationship with India. Americans of Indian descent are now about 1.5 per cent of our population. And pay six per cent of the taxes in America. It is the most successful immigrant community in America, he said.
Garcetti spoke at the event in which India's JSW Steel announced its plans to invest USD 140 million in Bayt
