‘We look forward to grow US-India ties’: Deputy Secretary of State Richard Verma

Senior diplomats from India and the United States, including Deputy Secretary of State Richard Verma, highlighted the strengthening of bilateral ties between the two countries.

Welcoming Foreign Secretary Vikram Misri, and Indian Ambassador to the US, Vinay Kwatra, Verma emphasised their shared commitment to advancing the India-US relations.

Sharing a post on X on Tuesday, Verma wrote, “Great to welcome Indian Foreign Secretary @VikramMisri & Indian Ambassador to the US @AmbVMKwatra back to @StateDept, alongside @DeputySecState Campbell. We look forward to continuing to grow #USIndia ties are rooted in mutual trust, shared values, prosperity for all.”

US Ambassador Kwatra thanked Verma for his “leadership in advancing India-US bilateral ties.”

In a post, Kwatra wrote, “Thank @DepSecStateMR for his leadership in advancing India-US bilateral ties. Through our commitment and concrete actions we would continue to build our Strategic Partnership.”

Their discussions focused on deepening cooperation in trade, defence, people-to-people ties, and addressing global challenges together.

In a post on X on Monday, Verma wrote, “Glad to once again welcome Indian Ambassador to the US Vinay Kwatra and key partners in #USIndia cooperation to @StateDept to celebrate our progress on trade, defense, people-to-people ties, and commitment to tackling global challenges together.”

Verma on Monday asserted that the US administration under President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris has been “deeply invested” in the relationship between India and the US.

In a post on X, Verma wrote, “When examining #USIndia ties, the numbers speak for themselves. From day one, the Biden-Harris Administration has been deeply invested in this relationship: now stronger than ever. I look forward to seeing this partnership grow for decades to come.”

India-US bilateral relations have developed into a “global strategic partnership,” based on shared democratic values and increasing convergence of interests on bilateral, regional and global issues.

Regular exchange of high-level political visits has provided sustained momentum to bilateral cooperation, while the wide-ranging and ever-expanding dialogue architecture has established a long-term framework for India-US engagement.
