Gor also visited the Gateway of India on Saturday

On Friday, the US Ambassador visited the US Consulate in Mumbai as part of his first trip to the city.

Earlier, after taking charge as the US Ambassador to India, Gor had said he has “come to this remarkable nation with profound respect” and with a “mission to take the partnership between our two great nations to the next level”.

He recalled that he first visited India in 2013, when he went to Jaipur and Ranthambore in Rajasthan, and Punjab, among other places, which left an impression on him. “When President Trump asked me to come here, I was thrilled,” he said.
