New Delhi: Amid efforts to bring bilateral US-India relations back on track, America’s Ambassador-designate to India Sergio Gor on Saturday called on External Affairs Minister S. Jaishankar in the national capital.
Gor, accompanied by Deputy Secretary for Management and Resources Michael J Rigas, is on a six-day visit to New Delhi, days after the Senate confirmed his appointment as the US envoy to India
Dr. Jaishankar met with Gor, who is seen as close to US President Doland Trump, amid continuing strains in the bilateral relations over Washington’s imposition of 50 percent tariffs on Indian exports.
The details of the talks were not immediately known, but it is understood that they broadly focused on ways to bring the relationship back on track.
“Pleased to meet Ambassador-designate Sergio Gor of the US today in New Delhi. Discussed the India-US relationship and its global significance,” Dr. Jaishankar posted on social media.
“Wish him the best for his new responsibility,” he said.
