Former LA Mayor Garcetti Welcomes Opening Consulate In His City

WASHINGTON, DC (ANI) – US Ambassador to India, Eric Garcetti, has welcomed India’s decision to open two Consulates in Boston and Los Angeles in and termed it an “important step forward.”

He posted, “Excited to see the U.S. & India achieving new horizons together. This weekend, India announced its intent to open two new Indian Consulates in the U.S. in Boston and Los Angeles, a vision I’ve encouraged since serving as LA Mayor. Now, as U.S. Ambassador to India, it’s wonderful to see this important step forward.”

During the last US visit in June 2023 Modi and President Joe Biden announced the opening of new consulates in each other’s countries.

“The United States intends to initiate the process to open two new consulates in India in the cities of Bengaluru and Ahmedabad. India will take steps to operationalize its new consulate in Seattle later this year, and open two new consulates at jointly identified locations in the United States,” the US-India joint statement, released by White House in 2023, had read.
