The India Abroad awards in pictures
The India Abroad Event of the Year 2005, instituted this year, was conferred on the blossoming Indo-US ties. Ambassador Ronen Sen received the award on behalf of India, while US Under Secretary for Commerce David McCormick received it on behalf of the United States government.
McCormick, the newly confirmed US Under Secretary for Commerce recently led a high-powered delegation to India, comprising senior officials from the US Departments of Commerce, State and the Pentagon for a meeting of the US-India High Technology Consultative Group meeting.
Both Sen and McCormick paid tribute to the Indian American community, without whose untiring efforts the formerly estranged democracies could not have seen this upturn in relations.
