"They Think Alike and Want to Deliver"

Ambassador Gor drew striking parallels between PM Modi and President Trump’s leadership models, pointing out that their mutual respect stems from a shared passion for execution.

"The President and Prime Minister are great friends, and that's something that goes back years ago, and it's something that will continue to go years ahead," Gor stated.
