I send greetings to those gathered to participate in the India-United States Conference on Space Science, Applications, and Commerce.
India and the United States share a history of more than four decades of cooperation in space. Our risk-takers and visionaries have expanded human knowledge, revolutionized understanding of the universe, and produced technological advances that have benefited all of humanity. This conference gives participants an opportunity to identify new opportunities for civil space cooperation to answer scientific questions, improve the quality of life for others, and inspire the next generation to explore our universe.
I applaud conference participants for your commitment to excellence in science and technology. Your efforts strengthen the bilateral relationship between the United States and India and reflect our common spirit of discovery and innovation.
Laura joins me in sending our best wishes.
George Bush
