Thank you Ambassador Garcetti.
August 16, 2024I had also seen a picture of you and a Zarathushti (Parsi Zoroastrian) priest talking outside a Zoroastrian temple in Mumbai. I told my relatives that I had once suggested to you to visit the Parsi Zoroastrian communities in Mumbai and Delhi, when I attended a Prayer Breakfast event at your official residence in Hancock Park, Los Angeles, when you were Mayor of Los Angeles, California.
