US Ambassador Sergio Gor presents credentials to President Droupadi Murmu

New US Ambassador Sergio Gor presents credentials to President Murmu, emphasizing strong US-India ties and the "real" friendship between Trump and PM Modi.

"I can attest that his friendship with Prime Minister Modi is real. - Sergio Gor"

New Delhi, January 14

President Droupadi Murmu on Wednesday received credentials from Sergio Gor the US Ambassdor to India and Special Envoy to South and Central Asia. The President also recieved the credentials of the envoys of Trinidad and Tobago and Austria at Rashtrapati Bhavan.

In a post on X, the Rashtrapati Bhavan said, "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."

On Monday, Sergio Gor took the oath as the new US Ambassador at the US Embassy in the national capital.

Addressing the gathering at the Embassy, Gor said he attests to Trump's friendship with PM Modi as "real" and said that real friends can resolve their differences.

"I have travelled all over the world with President Trump, and I can attest that his friendship with Prime Minister Modi is real. The United States and India are bound, not just by shared interests but by a relationship anchored at the highest levels. Real friends can disagree but always resolve their differences in the end," he said.

"It is great to be here as the United States' Ambassador. I come to this remarkable nation with profound respect and a clear mission: to take the partnership between our two nations to the next level. This is the intersection between the world's oldest democracy and the world's largest democracy. During my last dinner with him, President Trump recounted his last visit to India and also his great friendship with the great Prime Minister of India. I hope the President will be visiting us soon, hopefully in the next year or two. President Trump has a habit of calling at 2 in the morning, and with the time difference in New Delhi, it might work out pretty well," he added.

Gor emphasised the importance of the strategic relationship with India and said he intends to pursue an ambitious agenda

Gor is a prominent American businessman and political operative who has worked in multiple government organizations in the field of communications; he served as a Communication and Research Analyst for the Republican National Committee, Director of Outreach for Americans for Limited Government, Press Secretary for the Office of Representative Michele Bachmann, and Communications Director for Randy Forbes for Congress.

Gor graduated from The George Washington University and earned his Bachelor of Arts degree in Political Science and International Affairs in 2008.

Interesting that he highlighted the personal rapport between Trump and Modi. While personal chemistry helps, the relationship must be institutional and withstand changes in administration. The 2 AM call comment was funny though!

It's good to see the credentials ceremony with our President. Wishing the new ambassador all the best. Our focus should remain on tangible outcomes—technology transfer, defense cooperation, and easier visas for Indian students and professionals.

With a businessman as ambassador, hope he understands the 'Make in India' vision and helps bring more manufacturing and investment. That's the "next level" we need. Jai Hind!

A respectful note: While the article focuses on the US envoy, it's good to see our President receiving credentials from multiple countries. Our foreign policy is multi-aligned, not just focused on one nation. That's a sign of a confident India.

The "world's oldest democracy" and "world's largest democracy" line is powerful. This partnership is bigger than any individual. Hope Ambassador Gor works to strengthen the ties between our peoples, not just governments.
