UNIONDALE, New York -- Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi addressed a rapturous crowd of more than 13,000 on Sunday in the suburbs of New York City, praising the Indian diaspora before underscoring his country's growing role on the world stage.
"All of you are, and always have been, the strongest brand ambassadors of India," Modi said, delivering the speech in Hindi to a packed arena on New York's Long Island, almost exactly 10 years following an address he gave at Madison Square Garden soon after becoming prime minister in 2014.
