He conveyed, Our heart always is touched when any tragedy occurs, whether it is a life taken by somebody or any violence – no matter who they are. We are very committed to making sure that Indians know that the United States is a wonderful place to study and to be safe.

Highlighting the substantial presence of Indian students in the US, Ambassador Garcetti underscored the shared responsibility between both nations in addressing such incidents.
