U.S. Ambassador to India Sergio Gor met FBI Director Kash Patel in Washington to discuss cooperation between the United States and India on transnational threats, including cybercrime, narcotics and illicit networks.
Gor said the discussion centered on strengthening coordination between the two countries on shared security priorities. “A constructive discussion with Kash Patel on U.S.-India cooperation to counter transnational threats-cybercrime, narcotics, and illicit networks. Strong alignment on security priorities,” he said.
He also praised Patel’s leadership at the FBI, citing changes in crime statistics. “Kash has done a fantastic job at the FBI. In 2025: 112% INCREASE IN VIOLENT CRIME ARRESTS YEAR TO YEAR. 20% DECREASE IN HOMICIDES. 20% DECREASE IN ROBBERIES!” he said.

The meetings come as Gor continues engagements in Washington following his recent interactions with senior U.S. leadership. Last week, he met President Donald Trump at the White House and emphasized the administration’s focus on ties with India.
“Back in the U.S. for a few days. First stop, meeting with our GREAT President in the White House. The President deeply cares about the relationship between the U.S. and India!” Gor said.
Gor recently said Trump considers Prime Minister Narendra Modi “a true friend,” adding that their relationship strengthens bilateral ties.
“That friendliness also extends to the highest level of leadership between the United States and India. President Trump considers Prime Minister Modi a true friend, and their genuine relationship strengthens the already important bond between our two nations,” he said on X.
Gor also outlined his broader vision for the partnership, saying, “My vision is to transform the U.S.-India relationship into the defining strategic partnership of the 21st century, one that delivers tangible benefits for both our nations.”
He added that cooperation across sectors such as defense, energy, aviation, advanced manufacturing and digital infrastructure is expanding opportunities while strengthening supply chains between the two countries.
