PM Modi left for Egypt on Saturday after concluding his U.S. state visit, during which he held talks with President Joe Biden and addressed the joint session of Congress.
CII Director General Chandrajit Banerjee stated that the visit has culminated in laying a strong foundation for further strengthening the Indo-US relationship.
“A new chapter has been added to the partnership that will see a much stronger collaboration in strategic technology collaboration, including defence, semiconductor, and space and in emerging technology sectors like AI and quantum, advanced materials, biotechnology, and telecommunications,” Banerjee stated.
He observed that the visit is also significant as we see new areas where industry on both sides would benefit significantly from the outcomes.
“This also creates an enabling environment for the private sectors on both sides to flourish in the spirit of true partnerships. This visit is especially significant, as it would help create greater play of manufacturing in India, FDI flows and naturally, more employment,” Banerjee said.
Another industry body Assocham said the Prime Minister's visit has taken India-US strategic and commercial relations to greater heights, paving the way for immense opportunities for bilateral engagement.
