U.S. envoy Sergio Gor arrived in Ladakh on a maiden visit and took part in river rafting, officials said. The trip did not include meetings with senior political or religious leaders, they added. Ladakh administration officials said there is uncertainty over whether Gor will meet the Dalai Lama, who is currently staying in Leh.
Analysis: The lack of high‑profile meetings indicates a measured diplomatic approach, while the expressed uncertainty about a possible encounter with the Dalai Lama reflects security and political considerations surrounding the Tibetan spiritual leader’s presence in Leh. Gor’s first visit to the region underscores continued U.S. engagement in Ladakh, a territory that remains strategically significant.
