Earlier on Sunday, the US envoy highlighted the growing breadth of the India-US partnership, saying the two partner countries are working together across sectors from trade and defence to aerospace, pharmaceuticals and space, as he marked 250 years of American freedom at an event in Bengaluru.

Addressing the gathering, Gor said that the occasion was an opportunity to celebrate America's history but stressed that his focus in India was on delivering tangible outcomes and strengthening the partnership between the two countries.

"250 years, that's worth celebrating. But President Trump didn't send me to India to look back. He sent me here to get things done and look forward. And that's what we're focused on: real results for real people back home in the United States and here in India," Gor said.

He also underlined the importance of identifying areas where both countries can benefit from closer cooperation, saying the partnership was being advanced through practical initiatives.

"Every week, we look to identify examples of win-win situations for both of our nations," the US envoy said.
