US strengthens ties with India in economic and security sectors – IndBiz | Economic Diplomacy Division

The United States is strengthening its relationship with India, focusing on key areas of economic and security cooperation, State Department Deputy Spokesperson Vedant Patel emphasized during a press conference. The United States is committed to strengthening economic ties with India, seeking to expand trade and investment opportunities.

Security cooperation is also a top priority, with both nations focusing on common defense and strategic initiatives. Recent high-level engagements, including a meeting between President Joe Biden and Prime Minister Narendra Modi at the G7 summit, underscore ongoing efforts to strengthen bilateral ties.

Prime Minister Modi’s visit to the US last year led to significant agreements on defence, trade and space cooperation, further strengthening the partnership. National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan’s visit to India underscored the importance of the India-US Initiative on Critical and Emerging Technologies (iCET), which supports cooperation in high-tech sectors.

The United States is committed to maintaining an ongoing dialogue with India, exploring additional areas of cooperation and mutual benefit, and nurturing this critical relationship.
