New York : No other nation is as essential to the United States as India, said US ambassador-designate Sergio Gor, as he announced that Washington and New Delhi are set to restart their next round of trade deal talks from Tuesday (January 12). Speaking at the US Embassy in Delhi, Gor asserted that Trump’s friendship with Prime Minister Narendra Modi is “real” and said that real friends can resolve their differences.
The United States and India are bound, not just by shared interests but by a relationship anchored at the highest levels. Real friends can disagree but always resolve their differences in the end,” he said in his arrival speech. India is the world’s largest nation. So it’s not an easy task to get this across the finish line, but we are determined to get there, Gor added. He noted that while trade is very important for New Delhi and Washington’s relationship, both nations also continue to work closely together on other very important areas such as security, counter-terrorism, energy, technology, education, and health.
The US ambassador-designate said the purpose of his appointment is to take the partnership between our two nations to the next level. He also said that Trump may visit India by next year. This is the intersection between the world’s oldest democracy and the world’s largest democracy. During my last dinner with him, President Trump recounted his last visit to India and also his great friendship with the great Prime Minister of India. I hope the President will be visiting us soon, hopefully in the next year or two.
No partner is more essential than India. In the months and years ahead, it is my goal as ambassador to pursue a very ambitious agenda. We will do this as true strategic partners, each bringing strength, respect, and leadership to the table,” he said. Speaking on the ongoing negotiations of the India-US trade deal, Gor acknowledged that it was a challenging task and said he was determined to get it across the finish line.
Many of you have asked me for an update on the ongoing trade deal negotiations. Both sides continue to actively engage. In fact, the next call on trade will occur tomorrow. India is the world’s largest nation. So it’s not an easy task to get this across the finish line,” he said. Gor also announced that India will be a member of the Pax Silica alliance.
