US Ambassador calls on Amit Shah
US Ambassador to India Sergio Gor called on Union Home Minister Amit Shah on Thursday, and the two discussed strengthening cooperation in security, particularly in counter-terrorism and counter-narcotics.
This comes a day after the meeting between Prime Minister Narendra Modi and US President Donald Trump at the G7 summit in Evian-les-Bains, France.
In a social media post, Shah said, “Met US Ambassador to India, Mr Sergio Gor in New Delhi today. Had a detailed discussion on further strengthening cooperation between India and the US in the area of security, particularly in counter-terrorism and counter-narcotics.”
He said under the leadership of Prime Minister Modi, India is firmly committed to advancing the India-US Comprehensive Global Strategic Partnership and ensuring that the people of both nations benefit from the bilateral relationship.
Gor termed his meeting with Shah “excellent”. “We had a fruitful discussion on enhancing collaboration to combat terrorism, shield our people from narcotics and illicit drugs, secure our borders, and jointly bring criminals to justice in both nations,” he said in a social media post.
In another post, Gor said, “Back in New Delhi after a great trip to the G7 in France. Lots of positive outcomes between the United States and India!”
