Don’t care about name on letterhead: Sergio Gor on Indo-Pacific command row

Published by Parlour News

U.S. Ambassador to India Sergio Gor dismissed the row over the renaming of the Indo-Pacific Command, saying the “name on the letterhead” does not matter, but rather, look at what America is actually doing. Addressing the U.S.-India Strategic Partnership Forum Leadership Summit on Monday (June 29, 2026), Mr. Gor said India still conducts more military exercises with the U.S. than any other country and has regular bilateral visits of defence officials. Mr. Gor’s remarks came in the wake of a row over dropping ‘Indo’ from the Indo-Pacific Command. Established in 1947, the U.S. Pacific Command is among the oldest unified commands of the U.S. that extend from the West Coast of the U.S. to India’s western border. During U.S. President Donald Trump’s first term, the Pacific Command was renamed the Indo-Pacific Command, citing the growing importance of India in the Indo-Pacific region. Earlier this month the U.S. restored the original name of the unified command. “I just want to mention something because a lot of individuals made hay over a name change. I don’t care …
