New Delhi: India's ambassador to the US, S. Jaishankar, has said Prime Minister Narendra Modi's visit to America last year "really re-energised" the relations between the two nations, and the visit of President Barack Obama from Sunday is set to "mark a new era" in bilateral ties.

In an address on a radio programme "India Global", broadcast by state-owned All India Radio, Jaishankar said the large Indian-American population had helped shape the image of India through dint of their hard work.
