US Ambassador Sergio Gor Tours Amritsar Landmarks

The Ambassador documented his journey through Punjab on social media, expressing gratitude for the hospitality shown during his stops at the Sikh shrine and the Partition Museum. This excursion follows his recent travels to Srinagar and Leh, signaling an intent to engage with diverse regions across the country. Prior to his arrival in Amritsar, Gor observed military cooperation firsthand, witnessing the Yudh Abhyas 2026 exercise and the Tarang Shakti air drills in Rajasthan.

While the Ambassador focused on cultural engagement, diplomatic channels remained active in New Delhi. Foreign Secretary Vikram Misri hosted a bipartisan US Congressional delegation led by Representative Brian Mast to navigate the complexities of the bilateral agenda. Discussions between the two sides centered on the recently enacted Lindsey O. Graham Sanctioning Russia and Iran Act of 2026. Beyond legislative concerns, the meeting addressed energy security, counter-terrorism initiatives, and the maintenance of freedom of navigation in international waters, underscoring the broad scope of the current India-US partnership.
