Ambassador Gor champions stronger US-Rajasthan ties during meeting with Dy CM Diya Kumari
Jaipur, May 14
US Ambassador to India Sergio Gor met Rajasthan's Deputy Chief Minister Diya Kumari on Wednesday and reaffirmed strengthening ties to deepen the US-Rajasthan partnership.
Sharing the details in a post on X, the Ambassador further noted that he would be back in Rajasthan later this month.
"Delighted to meet Deputy Chief Minister @KumariDiya and reaffirm our commitment to a strong U.S.-Rajasthan partnership that champions innovation and mutual growth. Looking forward to being back in Rajasthan later this month!", the US Envoy said.
The leaders had also met in April earlier this year and during their meeting discussed avenues of collaboration, with a shared focus on growth and cultural exchange.
In a post on X, the Rajasthan Deputy CM had underscored how such engagements continue to reinforce the mutual commitment to deeper partnership and progress.
"Had a cordial and constructive meeting with the U.S. Ambassador to India, Mr. @SergioGor, today. We discussed avenues of collaboration, with a shared focus on growth and cultural exchange. Such engagements continue to reinforce our mutual commitment to deeper partnership and progress," she said.
Earlier on Wednesday, Gor shared in a post on X about his engagement with the US Consulate in Kolkata and highlighted how it is America's second-oldest diplomatic post in the world and plays a vital role in strengthening ties across India, including the growing east and northeast.
He also visited the Missionaries of Charity, prayed with the Sisters, and reflected on the legacy of Mother Teresa.
"Mother Teresa's Christian faith and life of service continues to inspire millions of people across continents", the US Envoy wrote on X.
Earlier on Tuesday, Gor had met Assam CM Himanta Biswa Sarma and discussed further strengthening US-Assam ties for the welfare of the people.
In an earlier post on X, Ambassador Gor expressed confidence in expanding commercial cooperation between the United States and Assam, which, according to him, will create many "win-win scenarios" for both countries.

Interesting to see US engagement with state governments. Rajasthan has massive potential in renewable energy and heritage tourism. Hope this translates to real projects benefiting local communities.
Cultural exchange is always welcome! But I hope our government is equally focused on strengthening ties with neighboring states and countries. Don't want all eggs in one basket, na? 😅
It's encouraging that Ambassador Gor is visiting multiple states beyond Delhi. His visit to the Missionaries of Charity shows respect for India's spiritual diversity. More such people-to-people connections needed!
Good diplomatic move, but I wish our leaders would also discuss concrete issues like visa facilitation for students and professionals. Cultural exchange is nice, but practical cooperation matters more in today's world.
Rajasthan getting global attention is great! But I hope local issues like water scarcity and farmer welfare are also being discussed. Development should start from bottom-up, not just top-down diplomatic visits. 🏜️
This is how effective diplomacy works - engaging at state level. Rajasthan's handicraft sector could hugely benefit from US market access. Also good to see the Ambassador referencing Mother Teresa's legacy positively.
