In a parallel strategic move, Gor said India will be invited next month to join US-led Pax Silica initiative to secure silicon and critical tech supply chain.

Speaking on his first day in office, Gor sought to portray current frictions as manageable within a mature partnership.

"Real friends can disagree, but always resolve their differences in the end," he said.
