Eric Garcetti, the former Mayor of Los Angeles, was officially sworn in as the U.S. Ambassador to India on Friday by Vice President Kamala Harris during a ceremonial event here.
The U.S. Senate confirmed Garcetti's nomination earlier this month, ending a protracted hiatus of over two years to fill the key diplomatic position.
Garcetti's nomination was pending before the U.S. Congress since July 2021 when he was nominated by President Joe Biden.
