In a major statement highlighting the strong partnership between New Delhi and Washington, US Ambassador to India Sergio Gor praised Prime Minister Narendra Modi. Gor stated that other global powers are jealous of the deepening bond between India and the United States, pointing to the close personal friendship between Prime Minister Modi and President Donald Trump.

Speaking about the upcoming G20 summit in Florida, the envoy emphasized that Prime Minister Modi remains Donald Trump top choice among global leaders. Gor mentioned that if President Trump were asked to choose one leader to meet out of thirty five attending dignitaries, Prime Minister Modi would sit right at the top of that list. He added that the visit is expected to extend far beyond standard multilateral group discussions due to their strong mutual trust.

The ambassador also discussed the ongoing economic momentum, revealing that a major bilateral trade deal is very close to finalization despite recent legal adjustments. He praised India under Prime Minister Modi for providing strong political and economic stability, making the country an attractive and reliable destination for foreign investments.

Highlighting defense and technological cooperation, Gor described India as a trusted defense partner involved in vital projects like Apache helicopter supplies and joint military drills. The statement reflects a very positive future trajectory for diplomatic ties, defense cooperation, and bilateral trade between the two giant democratic nations in the coming years.
