Sandhu himself reflected on the matured state of the relationship, likening it to a well-tended garden that continues to bloom despite challenges. He emphasized the growth, maturation, and blossoming of the ties, quoting Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s sentiments on the endless scope and limitless potential of cooperation between the two nations.
