U.S. ambassador to India Eric Garcetti expressed hope that the proposed American cin Bengaluru could be established in the coming year.
Addressing the U.S.-India Commercial Space Cooperation Conference, Mr. Garcetti said that during the state visit of Prime Minister Narendra Modi to the United States in 2023, he and US President Joe Biden announced the opening of two more consulates in India.
“He (Modi) and President Biden announced that we would open not just one, but two more consulates on top of our five hosts in India, and one of them would be right here in Bengaluru. It sometimes takes 5-10 years (to establish a consulate). I said, let’s see if we can get it done this coming year. So we’re so excited to do that,” Mr. Garcetti said.
