During a Senate Foreign Relations Committee hearing, he introduced Sergio Gor, the nominee for US Ambassador to India, who is expected to play a pivotal role in this evolving dynamic.

At 38 years old, Gor is set to be the youngest American ambassador to the nation, emphasizing the importance of the Indo-Pacific relations in the 21st century.
