New Delhi: Former Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti has become the new US Ambassador to India. US Vice President Kamala Harris on Friday formally administered the oath of office to Eric Garcetti as US Ambassador to India. The post of US Ambassador to India was vacant for the last two years. The US Senate confirmed Garcetti’s nomination as the next US ambassador to India earlier this month. This cleared the way for the appointment of Garcetti to the post of US ambassador to India, which had been vacant for more than two years.

After the swearing-in ceremony, Garcetti said, “I look forward to serving in this position.” Garcetti’s wife Amy Wakeland, father Gil Garcetti, mother Sue Garcetti, mother-in-law Dee Wakeland and several other close family members attended the swearing-in ceremony.

Eric Garcetti was born on February 4, 1971 in Los Angeles. Eric is an accomplished photographer, jazz pianist and composer. He has been a lieutenant in the Reserve Information Dominance Corps of the US Navy. In 2013, he ran for the mayor of Los Angeles for the first time and won. He became mayor again in 2017.

Prior to this, from 2006 to 2012, he has also been the President of the Los Angeles City Council. Before being elected mayor, he and his family lived in Echo Park. Eric is considered close to Biden. 50-year-old Eric was part of Joe Biden’s election campaign in the presidential election. There were also key political allies of Biden.

Eric Garcetti is considered close to US President Joe Biden. He has been co-chairman of Biden’s election campaign. He is still the closest and most important political ally of the President. It was believed that he could join Biden’s cabinet. But his chances came to an end after the Rick Jacobs controversy.
