US Envoy Takes Shikara Ride at Dal Lake in Srinagar
Gor said the United States may review its Kashmir travel warning after talks on economic cooperation and regional safety.
- On Wednesday, US Ambassador to India Sergio Gor visited Srinagar for his first time, meeting Kashmir Chief Minister Omar Abdullah and describing the region as an "important part of India" during a joint media briefing.
- This visit marks the first by a serving US envoy since the Centre abrogated Article 370 in 2019, though Abdullah noted that domestic issues remain the responsibility of India's central government rather than Washington.
- Ambassador Gor indicated the United States would explore downgrading its travel warning, a move former Chief Minister Mehbooba Mufti recently urged to assist families dependent on tourism in the region.
- Describing the meeting as "very good," Gor and Abdullah focused on strengthening economic collaboration, with follow-up discussions planned in both Washington and New Delhi.
- Gor is expected to travel to Ladakh to meet senior officials, reflecting broader American diplomatic and economic interest in the region alongside ongoing efforts to expand US-India engagement.
