"By successfully completing the largest exercise of popular voting in the world, the elections have strengthened India's vibrant democracy and upheld the values of freedom and pluralism that make India an example for us all." Gibbs said that the United States recognized the achievement of India's people in the election, noting they remained the "strength and foundation for India's prosperity and democracy." "President Obama looks forward to continuing to work with the Indian government to enhance the warm partnership between our two countries."
