US Ambassador to India Sergio Gor and Deputy Secretary for Management and Resources Michael J. Rigas are in India from October 9 to October 14.

The announcement, which was made in a White House press statement released on October 9, stated that Ambassador Gor and the deputy secretary would be meeting with their Indian government on a range of bilateral issues that include a “safer, stronger, and more prosperous Indo-Pacific.”

A US embassy spokesperson in India made it clear that Ambassador Gor was not formally taking over his new assignment.

“This is just a short trip. His presentation of credentials and move to India will occur at a later date that has not yet been determined.”
