"These common values and our increasingly convergent interests have driven an unprecedented transformation in Indo-US relations in just one decade.
After the Cold War, President Bill Clinton seized upon India's rapid economic emergence and liberalisation to lay the foundation for this transformation through his iconic five-day trip to India in the year 2000," Blake said.
"The Bush Administration built upon the Clinton legacy, with the US-India Civil Nuclear Deal - a landmark achievement for both of our countries.
Today, the wide scope and the intensity of our bilateral engagement is unprecedented and yet still growing," he said.
"President Obama had called India our "indispensable" partner for the 21st century.
That's why the President and Secretary Clinton are now forging a new strategic partnership with India that will help shape the 21st century," Blake said.
