Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Saturday met US Ambassador-designate to India Sergio Gor and said he was confident that India-US ties will further strengthen during his tenure.
Gor is on a six-day visit to India after the US Senate confirmed his appointment as the American Ambassador to India. Gor is accompanied by Deputy Secretary for Management and Resources Michael J Rigas.
“Glad to receive Mr. Sergio Gor, Ambassador-designate of the US to India. I’m confident that his tenure will further strengthen the India-US Comprehensive Global Strategic Partnership,” Modi said in a post on X.
Following the announcement of their meeting, Sergio Gor responded to the prime minister’s tweet by affirming that the India-US relationship will only strengthen over the months ahead.
India-US ties have hit a rough patch after Washington imposed 50 per cent tariffs on Indian exports.
However, recent phone calls between US President Donald Trump and Prime Minister Modi have raised hopes of a positive turn to the stressed relationship.
