NEW DELHI — Indian Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman and U.S. Ambassador to India Sergio Gor met Wednesday to discuss ways to deepen economic and financial ties between the two countries, with a focus on fintech cooperation, investment opportunities and broader bilateral collaboration.
India’s Finance Ministry said the meeting covered efforts to strengthen the India-U.S. economic and financial partnership and expand collaboration in digital finance and investment.
“Union Minister for Finance & Corporate Affairs met Sergio Gor, the US Ambassador to India, in New Delhi, today,” the ministry said in a post on X.
“They both had discussions on deepening India-US Economic & Financial Partnership, India-US Fin-Tech collaboration, investment opportunities and bilateral cooperation,” it added.
The meeting comes as India and the United States continue to expand engagement in trade, technology, digital finance and investment. Both countries have been seeking to strengthen strategic economic ties amid growing cooperation between government and business leaders.
During the meeting, Sitharaman also congratulated Gor ahead of the upcoming 250th Independence Day of the United States, according to the ministry.
The talks followed Gor’s remarks earlier this month at the Confederation of Indian Industry’s Annual Business Summit 2026 in New Delhi, where he said the Trump administration is committed to expanding trade and investment ties with India.
“We’re committed to expanding opportunities for trade, reducing regulatory barriers, and encouraging Indian businesses to invest in the United States for the benefit of both our countries. Together, we can further strengthen this vital bridge between government and business,” Gor said in a post on X.
Gor also said earlier that Indian companies plan to invest more than $20.5 billion in the United States across sectors including technology, manufacturing and pharmaceuticals, as investment flows back into the country under President Donald Trump’s leadership. (Source: IANS)
