Sergio Gor, a confidant of the U.S. president, took up his post as ambassador in New Delhi with ties between the countries at their lowest ebb in decades.

Sergio Gor’s tenure as US Ambassador to India focused on Quad diplomacy and strengthening US-India relations amid global changes.

Two remarks on the US-India relations from new US Ambassador to the country Sergio Gor sparked a big short-covering move on Monday, with the Nifty recovering over 300 points from the lows of the day to end a five-day losing streak.

As Sergio Gor walked up to the podium to take the oath of office, the 1966 soul classic ‘Hold On, I'm Comin'' by Sam & Dave played across the venue, prompting smiles and cheers from the gathered crowd.

In a big praise for Delhi's heritage and architecture, Sergio Gor compared India Gate with the Arc de Triomphe in Paris.

Gors on Monday said that "both sides continue to engage actively, and next call on trade will take place tomorrow”.
