India-US ties to define global stage, trade deal coming: Sergio Gor
'Rubio To Visit India Again This Year'
NEW DELHI: US Ambassador to India Sergio Gor emphasized that the India-US relationship is built on trust and friendship between Prime Minister Narendra Modi and President Donald Trump. Gor highlighted the rapid growth in bilateral trade, noting that it has surged from $20 billion 15 years ago to $240 billion today, with continued expansion.
At a recent forum, Gor stated that US and Indian leaders set an ambitious target of $500 billion in trade within a few years. Despite a setback when the Supreme Court struck down significant parts of a proposed deal, Gor expressed optimism that the trade agreement is almost finalized, mainly involving legal and technical language adjustments.
Gor emphasized the natural partnership between the two nations, two of the world's largest economies and business entities, stating that their relationship will define the global stage. He also mentioned that US Secretary of State Marco Rubio will visit India this year as part of the Quad mechanism, with further Quad meetings scheduled in Australia.
