He stated his belief that “the future of the 21st century is going to be determined by the strength of the US-India partnership.”
Vice President JD Vance announced that progress has been made toward a trade deal between the United States and India during a speech to business leaders and students at Rajasthan International Center in Jaipur. The vice president spoke of the importance of the U.S. collaboration with the most populous country in the world a day after meeting with Prime Minister Narendra Modi in New Delhi.
Vice President Vance said, “I believe that if India and the US work together successfully, we are going to see a 21st century that is prosperous and peaceful. But I also believe that if we fail to work together successfully, the 21st century could be a very dark time for all of humanity.”
“As many of you are aware, both of our governments are hard at work on a trade agreement built on shared priorities, like creating new jobs, building durable supply chains, and achieving prosperity for our workers,” the vice president continued.
He added, “In our meeting yesterday, Prime Minister Modi and I made very good progress on all those points, and we are especially excited to formally announce that America and India have officially finalized the terms of reference for the trade negotiation. I think this is a vital step.”
The vice president also brought his family to visit India due to Second Lady Usha Vance’s heritage.
As the Lord Leads, Pray with Us…
- For Vice President Vance as he promotes U.S. interests during meetings with foreign leaders.
- For discernment for the vice president and second lady as they raise their children.
- For safety for the second family during their travels.
