Indian Commerce Minister Piyush Goyal participated Tuesday in a New York energy security conference alongside Parliament Member Anurag Thakur. The Consulate General of India helped organize this gathering where Goyal promoted stronger energy partnerships between India and America. Nuclear power emerged as a key topic for affordable clean energy development, while renewable startup collaboration gained attention. The minister emphasized global teamwork for sustainable energy futures and praised India's national electricity network for reliable power delivery.

Goyal reinforced Prime Minister Modi's international solar grid concept and highlighted India's renewable energy progress. Monday brought separate trade discussions between Goyal and US Trade Representative Jamieson Greer, focusing on preliminary agreement terms. External Affairs Minister Jaishankar simultaneously met Secretary Marco Rubio, who called India critically important to American interests. Recent H-1B visa restrictions have complicated these diplomatic efforts, as Trump imposed hefty application fees reaching $100,000. The Homeland Security Department simultaneously proposed replacing lottery systems with merit-based selection favoring highly skilled workers.
