Garcetti To Be Confirmed US AMB To India, Filling Critical Diplomatic Post

US

Former Mayor of Los Angeles Eric Garcetti is expected to be confirmed as the US Ambassador to India after the Senate advanced Garcetti's nomination, in a 52-42 cloture vote, ending a period of 20 months without an Ambassador in New Delhi. A final vote will take place around 19:00 ET 23:00 GMT.

  • Senate Majority Leader Charles Schumer (D-NY) said, following the procedural vote: “The United States-India relationship is extremely important, and it’s a very good thing we now have an ambassador.”
  • Senator Todd Young (R-IN): “It’s in our national security interest to have an ambassador immediately in place in India in order to balance China, work with the U.S. throughout the Indo-Pacific. He has an imperfect resume, but the skills to succeed in this capacity.”
  • AP: "The vacancy in the ambassadorship has left a significant diplomatic gap for the administration at a time of rising global tensions, including China’s increasingly assertive presence in the Pacific region and Russia’s war with Ukraine."
  • The absence of an ambassador has been seen as an obstacle to delicate negotiations with Prime Minister Narendra Modi's government on India's relationship with Russia.
