Joe Biden nominates Los Angeles Mayor Garcetti as Ambassador to India

The Hindu  

U.S. President Joe Biden, on Friday, nominated Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti to the post of Ambassador to India. Mr Garcetti, 50, who has been mayor of Los Angeles since 2013, is a former intelligence officer from the U.S. Navy and a Rhodes Scholar. Mr Garcetti released a statement saying he was honoured to accept the nomination and would “forge partnerships and connections that will help strengthen Los Angeles’ place on the world stage.” If confirmed by the U.S. Senate, Mr Garcetti will replace Kenneth Juster, a Trump appointee who was Ambassador to India until January. “It speaks volumes to the importance of the U.S.-India relationship that a close and trusted ally of President Biden may be America’s point person in Delhi.” The India- U.S. relationship has strong support on both sides of the aisle in Washington, although it is not without its critics, particularly with regard to the Modi government’s record on democratic processes and minority rights.
