"I’m going to eat my way through India. I’m going to advance my way through India," Garcetti said.
"But more importantly, together with you, we are going to write a new chapter on US-India relations," he said.
Referring to the bond shared between Indian PM Narendra Modi and US President Joe Biden, he said: "The US-India relationship is often defined sometimes by the closeness of our leaders or of our government."
He said: "But they really reflect the closeness of our people. And it’s not a new friendship. It goes back years and decades before the Prime Minister (Narendra Modi) visited Washington.”
The Indian envoy has travelled to different parts of the country since he arrived here.
