U.S. Senate Majority (Democrat) Leader, Chuck Schumer called for deeper cooperation between the U.S. and India on the economic and defence fronts.
Mr Schumer, speaking at a virtual forum organised by the U.S. India Strategic Partnership Forum (USISPF), an advocacy organisation, also noted the record number of Indian Americans running for office in New York City, his home State.
To strengthen economic ties, the U.S. Congress “must find opportunities to invest” in industries critical to both countries (semiconductors, biotech etc.) but also emerging fields like 5G, cybersecurity and AI, Mr Schumer said. Without naming China or any other country, he said “rivals around the world” who did not always value democracy, were investing in such technology.
