The evening's keynote featured a fireside conversation titled Next Chapter of the Global Partnership between Jaishankar and USISPF President and CEO Mukesh Aghi.
During the event, Jaishankar, Gor, and Sandhu reaffirmed the strength of the U.S.-India strategic partnership, highlighting cooperation in trade, technology, defense, critical supply chains, and people-to-people ties.
The private dinner was attended by USISPF board members, advisors, Government of India officials, U.S. Embassy officials, and representatives from the embassies of Israel, Australia, Canada, and Japan.
USISPF also honored several individuals featured in the book, including former Indian ambassadors Shyam Saran, Arun K. Singh, and Navtej Sarna, as well as senior bureaucrats Amitabh Kant, Vidhu P. Nair, and Montek Singh Ahluwalia. The honorees reflected on the evolution of the U.S.-India partnership and expressed optimism about its future.
