600 million dollars in US International Development Finance Corporation investment to develop solar and wind energy
United States Secretary of State Mike Pompeo has said in a tweet that President Donald Trump’s just-concluded India trip demonstrated the value the United States places on its ties with New Delhi.
The tweet came a day after the President returned from his historic two-day visit to India with stops in Ahmedabad, Agra and New Delhi. Mr Pompeo said, democratic traditions unite us, shared interests bond us and under the President’s leadership our partnership has and will only grow stronger.
In a series of tweets, Acting Secretary of State for South and Central Asia Alice G Wells said an excellent progress was made during the Presidential visit to India. President Trump’s trip to India advanced the shared goals and paved the way for further cooperation in key areas such as energy, defence, people-to-people ties and Indo-Pacific coordination, she said.
Ms Wells said that the great strides were taken to advance US-India energy partnership, including taking steps to develop India’s strategic petroleum and providing 600 million dollars in US International Development Finance Corporation investment to develop solar and wind energy. She said, the US is proud to be India’s premier defence partner.
People-to-people ties between the two countries were stronger than ever, she asserted. The Congressional representatives and Parliamentarians will hold an exchange visit for 1st time ever in April. Both countries are working together to support human spaceflight and eager to welcome more Indian students to the US for higher education, she added.
