US Ambassador to India Sergio Gor on Tuesday expressed gratitude To President Donald Trump for giving him the opportunity to serve as Washington’s envoy to the country.

The 38-year-old envoy was administered the oath of office at a ceremony presided by Trump in the Oval Office on Monday.

In a post on X, Gor said: Very much looking forward to being the new U.S. Ambassador to India. Thank you @POTUS! I’m deeply grateful for this opportunity and committed to honoring the faith you’ve shown in me."

The US Senate had in October confirmed Gor to serve as the next United States ambassador to India.

In August, Trump had promoted Gor, Director of Presidential Personnel, to be the next US Ambassador to India, and Special Envoy for South and Central Asian Affairs.

“It’s an honor to be here for our friend, @SergioGor. Today, we’re thrilled to be at a swear-in for the next Ambassador to India, and Special Envoy to South and Central Asia, which is a big deal — and Sergio will handle it better than anybody could handle it," Trump said while swearing Gor in.

Describing Gor as a “great friend, who has been at my side for many years", Trump had said, “For the most populous region in the world, it is important that I have someone I can fully trust to deliver on my Agenda and help us Make America Great Again."

India’s Ambassador to the US Vinay Mohan Kwatra has said that Gor is one of Trump’s most trusted aides and his nomination to serve in New Delhi is viewed as a sign of importance and priority of bilateral ties.

Kwatra had said that this move is “viewed as a sign of importance and priority of India-US ties, and a commitment to strengthen the bridges and deepen the bonds of friendship between our two countries".

At his confirmation hearing in the Senate Foreign Relations Committee in September, Gor had said that India is a strategic partner whose trajectory will shape the region and beyond.

He had underlined that he is committed to advancing America’s interest in this “important" partnership.

“Improving US-India trade ties will not only bolster US competitiveness, but also reduce China’s economic leverage over other nations," Gor had said.

Gor also said that “India’s role in ensuring the stability and security of the region cannot be understated".
