In an address at the Raisina Dialogue, she said there is "huge opportunity" in expanding the India-US relationship, and Prime Minister Narendra Modi and President Trump laid out the vision for boosting the overall bilateral ties in their meeting in Washington DC last month.

Gabbard said just like Trump's 'America First' policy, PM Modi is committed to the 'India First' approach.

It should not be misunderstood that 'America First' means America alone, she said.

"I am confident that this partnership and friendship between our two countries will continue to grow," she added.
