Dodd Joins Senate India Caucus as Co-Chair

Press Release

Senator Chris Dodd (D-CT), a senior member of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, will serve as the new co-chair of the Senate India Caucus. Dodd will be filling the position vacated by Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and will be working with fellow co-chairman, Senator John Cornyn (R-TX).

"I am thrilled to be joining the Senate India Caucus," Dodd said. "Cooperation between India and the United States will mean increased economic opportunities for both nations as well as the chance to spread the principles of freedom, democracy, tolerance and the rule of law throughout the world, benefiting Americans and Indians alike."

The Senate Indian Caucus is a bipartisan coalition that brings national attention to domestic and international issues that affect our economies and security. It promotes a relationship between India and the United States, based on mutual trust and respect, to increase close collaboration across a broad spectrum of strategic interests, such as combating terrorism and promoting democracy, economic development, human rights, scientific research, and natural disaster relief.
