Gor told Media: No partner is more essential than India.
-
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.
The new US Ambassador said that he arrived in the country with deep respect and a firm goal of strengthening and advancing the relationship between the two nations.
-
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... President Trump has a habit of calling at 2 in the morning, and with the time difference in New Delhi, it might work out pretty well,US-
“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.” Said Gor.
-
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, and while trade is very important for our relationship, we will continue to work closely together on other very important areas such as security, counter-terrorism, energy, technology, education, and health.
Gor said the United States has launched a new strategic initiative aimed at strengthening the global silicon and semiconductor supply chain.
PaxSilica:
-
I am pleased to announce that India will be invited to join PaxSilica as a full member next month."
-
Also want to share with you today a new initiative that the United States launched just last month called PaxSilica.
-
Pax Silica is a US-led strategic initiative to build a secure, prosperous, and innovation-driven silicon supply chain from critical minerals and energy inputs to advanced manufacturing, semiconductors, AI development, and logistics.
-
The initiative aims to bring together these nations to strengthen cooperation across the entire silicon value chain, from raw materials to advanced technologies and logistics.
Several countries have already joined the PaxSilica initiative. "Nations that joined last month include Japan, South Korea, the United Kingdom, and Israel," Gor said, adding that India's inclusion would further strengthen the group.
-
India's invitation as a full member reflects its growing role in global technology, manufacturing and innovation ecosystems.
PaxSilica is positioned as a key platform for cooperation among partner nations to ensure secure and resilient supply chains in an increasingly technology-driven global economy.
What is Pax Silica?
PaxSilica, a US-led strategic initiative to build a secure, prosperous, and innovation-driven silicon supply chain, has been formed with Australia, Japan, South Korea, the United Kingdom, Singapore, and Israel, and a declaration was signed at the Pax Silica Summit in Washington DC.
