US ambassador Sergio Gor in Ladakh, goes river rafting along Zanskar-Indus stretch
On his inaugural visit to Ladakh, US Ambassador to India Sergio Gor embarked on a two-day trip, beginning with sightseeing and later engaging in river rafting along the Zanskar-Indus stretch. The Ambassador's visit follows his meeting with Jammu & Kashmir chief minister Omar Abdullah in Srinagar the previous day. Reports indicate that Gor may have met with the 91-year-old Dalai Lama, who is currently recuperating in Ladakh after a medical procedure in New Delhi.
The US envoy's presence in Ladakh, carved out as a Union Territory in August 2019, and the tense situation along the disputed border following the Galwan clash in June 2020, has been interpreted as a message from the United States.
