United States Ambassador Sergio Gor is moving swiftly to strengthen economic ties shortly after assuming office. On Friday, the envoy held a significant meeting with Reserve Bank of India (RBI) Governor Sanjay Malhotra to discuss future collaborations.
Taking to social media platform X, Ambassador Gor expressed his pleasure regarding the interaction. He highlighted that the discussion centered on areas of increased cooperation, with a specific focus on bringing state-of-the-art US technology to Indian shores. This meeting marks a crucial step in aligning the economic and technological interests of both nations.
Active Diplomacy in Mumbai
This high-profile meeting occurred during Gor's first official visit to Mumbai. Just days after formally taking charge on January 12, the Ambassador visited the US Consulate in the financial capital. He praised the dedicated team there for their hard work in bolstering the US-India partnership.
Resilient Partnership Amidst Talks
Gor’s meeting with the RBI Governor follows his recent comments regarding ongoing trade negotiations. In his first address after taking office, he reassured stakeholders that India and the US are actively engaged in talks. He emphasized that communication channels remain open, noting that "real friends can disagree, but resolve the difference."
The Ambassador has also been vocal about the political synergy between the two nations. He recently thanked US President Donald Trump for his appointment and underscored the "genuine" friendship shared between President Trump and Prime Minister Narendra Modi. Gor reiterated his commitment to working closely with New Delhi. His agenda includes advancing shared priorities in critical sectors such as defence, trade, technology, and critical minerals.
This series of meetings signals a healthy start to Gor's tenure, suggesting a proactive approach to resolving trade nuances while accelerating technological exchange between Washington and New Delhi.
