A resolution recognizing the importance of United States-India relations.

SRES 259 is a symbolic Senate resolution (not a bill) recognizing the significance of U.S.-India relations. It reaffirms the partnership rooted in shared strategic interests, trade (with $191 billion in 2022 bilateral trade), defense collaboration, educational exchanges (including 82,000 Indian student visas in 2022), and technological cooperation like the iCET initiative. The resolution does not create new laws or obligations but formally expresses support for deepening ties across economic, defense, and people-to-people channels. It was introduced by Senators Menendez, Warner, and Cornyn on June 21, 2023, and referred to the Foreign Relations Committee.
