Suozzi, who represents New York's 3rd District, was selected for the post by Caucus Chairman Ro Khanna. His primary focus will be advancing the U.S.-India strategic partnership, with an emphasis on trade, defense, and technology cooperation.

The caucus, which includes members from both parties, works to deepen ties between the two countries and address issues affecting the Indian American community. Suozzi's appointment comes as the U.S. and India expand collaboration on defense and emerging technologies.

In a statement, Suozzi said he was honored to take on the role and looked forward to working with colleagues to strengthen the alliance. He noted the importance of the Indian American community in fostering bilateral relations.

Khanna praised Suozzi's commitment to the caucus's mission, saying his leadership would help advance shared priorities in Congress. Suozzi previously served on the House Foreign Affairs Committee and has been an advocate for stronger U.S.-India ties.
