"J&K Important Part Of India": US Ambassador Sergio Gor In Srinagar

Srinagar: US Ambassador to India Sergio Gor recently called Jammu and Kashmir an integral part of the nation, during his inaugural visit to the Union Territory following the withdrawal of Article 370. As the first US envoy to visit the region since the historic change, Gor expressed his delight at the opportunity. The trip comes at a time when India and the US are exploring deeper economic ties.

In his meeting with Chief Minister Omar Abdullah, Gor highlighted the potential for mutual benefits through collaborative economic initiatives. This marks the first such meeting between a serving US ambassador and the J&K chief minister in over a decade, with the last taking place in 2011. Gor also praised the efforts of the Indian government and J&K administration in enhancing security in the region.

He further stressed the importance of policy stability and stronger intellectual property protection for boosting trade between the two nations.
