US-Assam will identify more scenarios for possible ties: Ambassador Sergio Gor 

US Ambassador Sergio Gor on Tuesday said his country will explore more opportunities with Assam that will be commercially beneficial to both sides.

Gor was in Guwahati to attend the swearing-in ceremony of Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma, who created history by becoming the only non-Congress and the first BJP CM to assume power for two successive terms in the state.

"Honored to have been invited to Guwahati today to attend the swearing-in ceremony of the Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma," Gor said in a post on social media.

"The United States and Assam have many commercial ties, and with the CM's leadership we will identify many more win-win scenarios for both of our nations!" he added.

Along with Sarma, four MLAs -- the BJP's Rameswar Teli and Ajanta Neog,  AGP's Atul Bora, Charan Boro of BPF -- also took oath as ministers.

The oath taking function was attended by Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Union Home Minister Amit Shah, Defence Minister Rajnath Singh and Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman, among others.

Several diplomats and leading industrialists also witnessed the grand ceremony at the Veterinary College Field in Khanapara.
