Tom Suozzi, Democratic Vice-Chair of Congressional Caucus on India and Indian Americans, in the Capitol.

In his new role, Suozzi will focus on deepening the U.S.-India strategic alliance, with an emphasis on economic cooperation, defense partnerships, and cultural exchange. The caucus serves as a platform for members of Congress to engage with issues affecting the Indian American community and to promote bilateral relations.

Suozzi, who represents New York's 3rd Congressional District, has been an advocate for strong U.S.-India relations throughout his tenure. His district includes a significant Indian American population, and he has previously supported legislation aimed at enhancing trade and educational exchanges between the two countries.

The caucus, co-chaired by Republicans and Democrats, plays a key role in shaping U.S. policy toward India. Suozzi's appointment underscores the importance of bipartisan support for the alliance, which has grown in significance amid shared strategic interests in the Indo-Pacific region.
