Congratulating president-elect Donald Trump on his stunning electoral victory, a top India centric American business advocacy group on Wednesday exuded confidence that the new administration will maintain the positive momentum in the India-US relationship.

"During his first administration, President Trump made the Indo-Pacific the preeminent focus for Washington`s foreign policy, with the goal of securing a free and open Indo-Pacific," the US India Strategic and Partnership Forum (USISPF) said in a statement. "From that auspicious start, the relationship has continued to flourish with deepening partnership across critical and emerging technologies, clean energy, rebuilding supply chains, fortifying our defences and cementing people-to-people ties," the USISPF said.
