During these interactions, Pradhan invited US companies and investors to engage and invest in India in new opportunities. “There have been a few collaborative efforts between Indian and American companies in this sector, but it is far below their potential,” said Pradhan. He noted the resilience of the US-India Energy Partnership and characterized it as one of the most durable pillars on which India-US Strategic Partnership rests.
“Even during these challenging times, India and the US have been working in close collaboration, be it in stabilizing global energy markets or in collaborative efforts to address COVID-19. In today’s turbulent world, one constant is-and always will be -the strength of our bilateral partnership,” he added.
