US Ambassador to India Sergio Gor met Union Home Minister Amit Shah on Thursday, with both sides holding detailed discussions aimed at strengthening cooperation in counter-terrorism efforts and combating illicit drugs. The meeting focused on expanding coordination between India and the United States in areas of security, border management, and transnational crime prevention.

Following the meeting, Ambassador Gor described the discussions as “fruitful” in a post on social media platform X, stating that both sides explored ways to enhance collaboration to combat terrorism, curb narcotics trafficking, secure borders, and jointly bring criminals to justice.
