The US Senate on Wednesday confirmed former Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti as the country's ambassador to India.
Garcetti garnered the confirmation from senators in a 52-42 vote.
The post was vacant for nearly two years.
"The United States-India relationship is extremely important, and it's a very good thing we now have an ambassador," Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer said.
Garcetti, who also received the backing of some Republican senators, was first nominated in July 2021.
