The four-kilometre-long corridor, which was inaugurated on November 9, provides pilgrims a visa-free link between Darbar Sahib in Kartarpur and the Dera Baba Nanak shrine in Indian Punjab. During his visit, the UN chief was taken on a guided tour of the gurdwara.
Guterres met Sikh religious leaders and was presented mementos to commemorate his visit.
