“This has been a historic visit in so many ways,” said Sanjay Puri, chairman of USINPAC. “The US has rolled out the red carpet for Prime Minister Modi, signaling that the US-India partnership will be the defining relationship for the future.”

“Defense, space, and semiconductors are vital for improving critical supply chains,” he said. “Troublesome issues like visas have been resolved. The solid and enduring partnership between the United States and India is a testament to the immense potential that lies within collaboration.”

One of the most significant announcements during the visit was the agreement to co-produce fighter aircraft engines in India, representing a substantial advancement in defense cooperation, USINPAC said.

Additionally, India announced a $3 billion investment in Micron semiconductors, further strengthening bilateral ties in the semiconductor sector.

Progress was also made in simplifying the visa process for citizens of both nations, facilitating smoother travel for businesses and individuals.

“USINPAC’s decades of work are bearing fruit,” said Suraj Patel, a Congressional candidate from New York and a member of USINPAC. “It has played an instrumental role in laying the groundwork for the growing friendship and investment ties between India and the USA.”

“Prime Minister Modi and President Biden emphasized the importance of collaboration, sustainability, and mutual democratic respect, providing a clear path forward,” Patel noted.
