US diplomats call on Farooq Abdullah
Srinagar, Aug 18:A day before the maiden visit of United States Ambassador to India Sergio Gor to Jammu and Kashmir, a team of US diplomats from the US embassy in New Delhi called on National Conference (NC) President Farooq Abdullah at his residence here on Tuesday. The visiting officials, who reached the Valley ahead of schedule as part of the advance preparations for the Ambassadors trip, included Ian Michael Dick, Gary Applegarth, Lisa Grace Alkins and Hemant Joshi. The meeting focused on the forthcoming engagement of Ambassador Gor with Chief Minister Omar Abdullah, sources said. Ambassador Sergio Gor, who also holds the charge of Special Envoy for South and Central Asia, is scheduled to arrive in Srinagar on Wednesday afternoon. He is expected to hold separate meetings with Lieutenant Governor Manoj Sinha and Chief Minister Omar Abdullah during his stay. The envoy will spend the night in Srinagar before travelling to Ladakh on Thursday. This will be Gors first visit to J&K since he assumed charge as the 27th US Ambassador to India in January this year. It also marks the first visit by a serving US Ambassador to J&K since the region was reorganised as a Union Territory in 2019. Officials confirmed that an advance team from the Ambassadors office had already reached Srinagar to finalise logistics and security arrangements. The visit comes against the backdrop of the deepening India-US strategic partnership and follows recent high-level interactions between Gor and Union Home Minister Amit Shah on issues including counter-terrorism and counter-narcotics. Kashmirs political leadership and civil society have taken note of the trip, with some voices calling for the envoy to engage with a wider cross-section of people during his brief stay. On Wednesday, US Ambassador to India Sergio Gor is set to meet CM Omar Abdullah in Srinagar, marking the first meeting between a serving US ambassador and a sitting J&K chief minister in more than 15 years. The last such meeting was in March 2011, when then US Ambassador Timothy Roemer met CM Omar when J&K was a state. As such, Gor's proposed meeting with CM Omar marks a return to direct engagement between the US envoy and J&K's elected government after the chief ministerial tenures that followed Omar's first term in office. The last US ambassador to visit J&K was Donald Blome in 2022, but he was then serving as ambassador to Pakistan and had visited PoK, prompting a strong protest from New Delhi. The last standalone visit to Kashmir by a US ambassador based in New Delhi was by Kenneth Juster in August 2018, shortly after the fall of the PDP-BJP government. Juster met then Governor Narinder Nath Vohra as well as Omar Abdullah, one of the former chief ministers present in Kashmir at the time. He also visited Ladakh a month earlier. Juster returned to Srinagar in January 2020 as part of a 15-member ambassadorial delegation organised by New Delhi following the August 2019 reorganisation of J&K. Gor's visit to Kashmir and Ladakh comes after engagements with political leadership in Kerala, Karnataka, and Maharashtra, giving the trip a broader diplomatic context. Any strategic significance of his Srinagar meeting with CM Omar, however, would depend on the statements issued by the two sides.
