On X, the Rashtrapati Bhavan stated: “President Droupadi Murmu received credentials from Mr Chandradath Singh, High Commissioner of the Republic of Trinidad and Tobago; Dr Robert Zischg, Ambassador of the Republic of Austria; and Mr Sergio Gor, Ambassador of the United States of America, at Rashtrapati Bhavan.”

Gor’s credentials were presented just days after assuming office in New Delhi. On Monday, he took the oath of office as the new US Ambassador at the US Embassy in the national capital.

Gor, who has traveled with President Trump over the world, expressed his belief that their bond with Prime Minister Modi is genuine and that true friends can work together to settle disagreements. Not only do the United States and India share common interests, but they also have a high-level relationship. “True friends can disagree but always resolve their differences,” he added. “It is great to be here as the United States’ Ambassador.” I come to this magnificent country with deep respect and a clear mission: to elevate our two countries’ partnership to new heights. This is the intersection of the world’s oldest and largest democracies. During my last supper with him, President Trump discussed his last visit to India as well as his close friendship with India’s Prime Minister. I hope the President will come to see us soon, preferably within the next year or two. “President Trump has a habit of calling at 2 a.m., and given the time difference in New Delhi, it could work out pretty well,” he continued.

Gor emphasized the importance of the strategic partnership with India and stated that he plans to pursue an ambitious agenda.
