New Delhi

US Ambassador to India Sergio Gor on Wednesday met Delhi Lieutenant Governor Taranjit Singh Sandhu to discuss areas of shared interest between the two sides.

In a post on X, the ambassador described the interaction as productive and said he looked forward to hosting visiting US Governors in the national capital in the coming months, signalling continued engagement at multiple levels.

Earlier in the day, Gor also expressed anticipation for the upcoming visit of Marco Rubio to India. He referred to Rubio as a close associate and underscored the importance Washington places on its expanding partnership with New Delhi, adding that both countries are keen to further strengthen ties for mutual and global benefit.

Rubio is expected to visit India later this month in what will be his first official trip since assuming office as US Secretary of State. The visit comes amid a series of key diplomatic engagements between the two countries.

Highlighting economic cooperation, Gor noted that Indian companies are increasingly investing in the United States, with proposed investments exceeding $20.5 billion across sectors such as technology, manufacturing, and pharmaceuticals. He attributed this trend to favourable economic conditions and ongoing collaboration.
