      USA's new ambassador to India: Eric Garcetti's nomination confirmed by Senate

      The United States of America will finally be sending a full-time ambassador to India after a gap of more than two years.

      The US Senate on 15 March confirmed Eric Garcetti as the country's next envoy to India. Garcetti, who is the former mayor of Los Angeles and President Joe Biden's close aide, secured 52 votes in his favour while 42 voted against him.

      His nomination was pending since July 2021 over a controversy that he ignored sexual harassment complaints at the mayor's office.

      Last week, the Senate Foreign Relations Committee voted 13-8 in favour of his nomination.

      “The relationship between India and the US is a strong one, and one of great strategic, economic, and cultural importance. Founded on shared values, supported by growing economic and trade ties, and strengthened by the Indian diaspora here in the US, this partnership continues to hold significant promise for the future," Senator Mark Warner, Co-Chair of Senate India Caucus, said.

      "As co-chair of the Senate India Caucus, I am glad that there will finally be a Senate-confirmed ambassador in New Delhi," Warner said.
