LOS ANGELES – Mayor Karen Bass issued the following statement after former Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti was confirmed by the United States Senate to serve as the United States Ambassador to India.

“I congratulate former Mayor Garcetti on his confirmation to serve as our country’s ambassador to the world’s largest democracy. His ability to strengthen our nation’s position in the world draws from his experience leading a global city, an academic background in international affairs, service as a Navy intelligence officer and the full confidence of the President. Los Angeles is an international hub, and I look forward to working with Eric as he represents our nation in New Delhi.”
