No partnership is better positioned than the India-US partnership to seize new opportunities, particularly in the technology sector, US Ambassador Sergio Gor said on Friday (May 29, 2026).

Speaking at the event, the envoy also said the US was reviewing its export control policy and suggested it could benefit from strengthening ties between the two countries in high-tech areas.

The US recognizes India’s potential, he said, describing the relationship as the “defining partnership” of the 21st century.

Mr Gor said an interim trade deal between India and the US was in the process of being finalized and could be concluded in the next few weeks and months.

There is an opportunity to transform the relationship into a smoother economic partnership, he said. There is unlimited potential for a shift in the US-India relationship, he said.

Mr Gore also said Secretary of State Marco Rubio’s recent visit to India was “substantial”.
