Eric Garcetti Appointed to Lead the Ambitious Effort In Deepening US-India Cooperation

After two years of prolonged vacancy in filling the US Ambassador to India position, Eric Garcetti is elected for the key role and will lead the Ambitious Effort to deepen US-India Cooperation.                      

Eric Garcetti will lead an ambitious effort in deepening America’s cooperation with India, especially in defense and economic sectors, states the White House Press release.

Garcetti, the former Mayor of Los Angeles was officially sworn in as the US Ambassador to India on March 24th with the presence of Vice-President Kamala Harris at a ceremonial event. The 52-year-old candidate’s nomination was confirmed by the US Senate earlier in March, post a prolonged halting of two years in filling the key diplomatic position.

President Biden has observed the mutual relationship between the US and India and identified it as one of the most consequential relationships that the US holds within the entire world. As the US Ambassador to India, Garcetti is all set to lead an ambitious effort to deepen our cooperation with India in critical and emerging technologies. He is aiming to expand both the region’s defense corporation, economic and people-to-people ties. Karine Jean Pierre, the  White House Press Secretary, remarked that the relationship between both democratic nations is one of the most consequential relationships for the US globally. 

The former US envoy in New Delhi, Kenneth Juster stepped down in January 2021, after the change of government in America. Garcetti has currently headed to New Delhi and was confirmed by the Senate in President Biden’s administration after two years, per his renomination by President Biden for the same position in January 2023. His supporters are supposing the importance of geopolitical concerns, and the need for an ambassador to address them critically.
