Representative Rob Wittman was named co-chair of the newly launched Congressional Study Group on India (CSGI) on June 4. CSGI is the fifth Congressional study group after the ones on Europe, Germany, Japan, and Korea.

Wittman joins Rep. Deborah Ross as co-chair of the India study group.

Congressional study groups look to deepen bilateral partnership and strengthen strategic alignment. CSGI is an initiative of the U.S. Association of Former Members of Congress (FMC), a voluntary alliance of former US Senators and Representatives, working to strengthen Congress in the conduct of its Constitutional responsibility.

FMC President Barbara Comstock highlighted the dedicated efforts of the body to form CSGI and said, “FMC has been working for years to establish CSGI, and we’re beyond excited to finally bring this timely project to fruition.” She added, “India continues to grow its influence and presence on the global stage, and as a strategic partner in the Indo-Pacific it is crucial we help facilitate a stronger relationship between the U.S. Congress, Indian government and civil society.”

Underscoring the key dynamics of the bilateral relation, CSGI Co-Chair Rep. Rob Wittman said “India is a crucial partner in the region. A Congressional Study Group on India will play an essential role in building out and reinforcing the ties between us and our colleagues in New Delhi.”

Noting India’s geo-political standing, Wittman added, “India has been a key player on the global stage for years, and it’s important we help strengthen U.S. collaboration and friendship with them. I look forward to working alongside Congresswoman Ross to open new dialogue between Congress and our counterparts in India.”

CSGI Co-Chair Rep. Deborah Ross pointed out the key areas of cooperation and said, “Representing the Research Triangle in North Carolina, I know first-hand how important it is to continue to build upon our already strong relationship, especially within the boundary pushing fields of R&D and education.”
