Kohima, Dec 3 (PTI) The United States is keen to further strengthen ties with India by connecting itself with the Northeast region in various sectors, US ambassador Eric Garcetti told reporters here on Sunday.
The ambassador, who was here to attend the Hornbill Festival, said he was impressed with the culture and vibrancy of the Naga people.
The US, Germany and Colombia are the three foreign partners of this year's festival.

He also appreciated the Nagas living and working in California.
