Commerce and Industry Minister Piyush Goyal has said that there's no hiatus in the India-US relationship which continues to be important and strategic for both the countries.

With both sides recently having signed a 10-year defence pact, the Minister said that the comprehensive India-US partnership has many elements and every element may not run at the same speed.

Speaking at the 22nd Indo-American Chamber of Commerce in New Delhi, the Minister emphasised that the India-US partnership remains strong, stable and continuously expanding across strategic and economic sectors.

He said there is no cause for concern regarding the bilateral relationship and reiterated that the friendship between the two nations stands on firm pillars of democracy, diversity and a shared developmental vision.
