Former Indian Ambassador to the United States and Rajya Sabha Member Harsh Vardhan Shringla has welcomed the nomination of Sergio Gor as the next U.S. Ambassador to India, describing it as a positive step for bilateral relations.
Shringla made the remarks at a reception hosted by the Indian American Business Impact Group (IAMBIG) in the United States. The event was attended by prominent Indian Americans, including New York entrepreneur Al Mason and Prem Bhandari of Jaipur Foot USA.

“Sergio Gor as the next U.S. Ambassador to India is a very positive step,” Shringla said. “We all know that he is not only someone who has extraordinary capacities, who has contributed a very great deal to the political environment in the U.S., but he is also a very, very close associate of President Trump. And I think that makes a tremendous difference at this point in time, when we are doing all the bridging that we can get.”
He added that Gor’s nomination should be seen as “a positive turn of events which we should welcome, and we do welcome in India.”
On trade, Shringla expressed optimism about an agreement between the two countries. “We are also very hopeful that we will find ways to conclude a satisfactory, mutually beneficial free trade agreement with the United States early rather than late,” he said.
Addressing a packed hall of Indian American entrepreneurs and community leaders, Shringla also underlined the strategic importance of the bilateral partnership. He called the India-U.S. relationship “the defining relationship of the 21st century” and urged the diaspora to take an active role in strengthening it.
“This relationship is too important and too vital — not only in geopolitical terms, but also in economic terms,” he said.
