Eric Garcetti sworn in as US Ambassador to India

Washington: Eric Garcetti, President Joe Biden's close aide, was officially sworn in as the US Ambassador to India by Vice President Kamala Harris, ending over two years of delay to fill one of Washington's most critical diplomatic position.

Garcetti's daughter Maya held the

Garcetti raised his right hand while Harris performed the ceremony, and family members cheered when the two longtime friends shook hands.
