The US and India’s collaboration spans across a range of economic issues, including commercial and technological collaboration, strengthening supply chains, and catalysing the clean energy transition, Yellen said.
“In particular, we look forward to working with India on an investment platform to deliver a lower cost of capital and increased private investment to speed India’s energy transition,” Yellen said.
The US Treasury Secretary also appreciated India’s focus on finalizing the “historic Two-Pillar global tax deal”. “I believe that we are close to reaching an agreement,” Yellen added.
