US Ambassador to India Sergio Gor shared photographs of the meeting on X. He wrote: "Great to join @SecRubio for a meeting with Prime Minister @narendramodi. We had a productive discussion on ways to deepen U.S.-India cooperation across security, trade, and critical technologies - areas that strengthen both our nations and advance a free and open Indo-Pacific. India is a vital partner to the United States!"
Earlier, Sergio Gor had stated that Secretary of State Marco Rubio has arrived in India with a clear message during this visit one considered to be among the most significant engagements of the "Trump 2.0" era. India remains indispensable to America's success in the 21st century. The true test of strategic partnerships lies in how both sides resolve differences and expand their common ground. From trade, technology, AI, and supply chains to defense and energy, Washington and New Delhi stand to gain far more by working together than by acting in isolation.
