NEW DELHI– The United States remains committed to working with India on energy security and economic growth, a senior US Embassy official said Tuesday, underscoring the role of collaboration amid global geopolitical and supply chain disruptions.
Speaking at the “3rd Energy Summit of the Indo-American Chamber of Commerce” in the national capital, Xiabing Feng, Principal Commercial Officer at the US Embassy, stressed that stronger bilateral ties can drive transformative change in the global energy sector.
“As we look into the future the United States remains committed to working with India through the export of high quality world-class products and services, to help India achieve its goals of energy security and economic growth,” Feng said.
She added that the US can play a key role in India’s pursuit of energy independence through oil, natural gas, and nuclear power partnerships. “As we meet at this critical juncture, the global energy landscape is undergoing profound transformation. Geopolitical instability, the markets, the disruptions in supply chains have exposed vulnerability and underscore the interest in ensuring that we operate secure energy systems for our economies,” she noted.
Feng emphasized that the US is well-positioned to be a major supplier of crude oil and liquefied natural gas to India. She also recalled that during Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s visit to Washington, Modi and US President Donald Trump reaffirmed their nations’ roles as leading consumer and producer in shaping global energy markets, while pledging to advance a bilateral energy security partnership covering oil, gas, and nuclear power.
“The United States and India share a commitment to diversify energy resources and enhance infrastructure. By leveraging American expertise in natural gas, nuclear energy, and emerging technologies, the United States can support India’s ambitious goals for energy security and grid modernization,” Feng said, adding that US companies are eager not only to sell products but also to partner with Indian firms in strengthening energy systems.
