US Secretary of State Marco Rubio to Visit India Again in October

US Secretary of State Marco Rubio is set to visit India again in October for several days, US Ambassador to India Sergio Gor said at the Economic Times World Leaders Forum 2026, underlining the importance Washington attaches to its relationship with New Delhi. Gor said Rubio had already spent five days in India in May and would return for another multi-day visit in October, describing the frequency of high-level engagement as unusual. "The secretary will be coming here to India, but after India, we're actually going to continue, and he's going to travel to Australia, and that'll be another quad meeting," said Gor. His remarks come amid sustained high-level engagement between India and the United States, with Washington seeking to deepen ties with New Delhi across strategic and economic areas. Gor also said US President Donald Trump viewed Prime Minister Narendra Modi as having stood by him even during difficult periods. "I think the prime minister was very clear, and it's one of those things you can look at the records. You can look at what European leaders said," he said.
