Texas Governor Greg Abbott

New Delhi, January 28
Texas Governor Greg Abbott, an inveterate political opponent of US President Joe Biden, has championed the Texas-India economic partnership during his visit to India.
“Texas and India are two places — and two people — who both share an independent streak and a desire to make our mark on the world,” said Governor Abbott in a keynote address at the India-US Forum hosted by the Ministry of External Affairs and Ananta Centre in New Delhi.
Abbott’s visit had a dual purpose. One was to meet entrepreneurs and seek two-way investment and the other to attend the Republic Day parade as the government’s guest. Significantly, Biden had turned down PM Modi’s invitation to be the chief guest with just weeks to go for the Republic Day. Abbott met External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar to discuss ways the Texas’ energy and semiconductor industries could align more closely with India.
