Washington: U.S. Ambassador to India Sergio Gor held a series of meetings in Washington this week, meeting Vice President J.D. Vance, FBI Director Kash Patel, and Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick, and is scheduled to attend a White House dinner with President Trump on Tuesday as part of diplomatic engagement. The meetings advanced cooperation on security issues—cybercrime, narcotics and illicit networks—and economic ties, including discussions about an AI memorandum, increased Indian participation in the SelectUSA Summit, and growing pharma investment; officials signalled continued alignment and planned follow-up initiatives this week.
