Washington: With Nisha Desai Biswal becoming US' first ever Indian-American point person for South Asia, Secretary of State John Kerry has said her success and that of others from the community is reflective of the deep ties his country has with India.
Biswal, the first Indian-American to become Assistant Secretary of State for South and Central Asia, was formally sworn in by Kerry at an impressive ceremony held at the State Department which was attended by key officials of the Obama Administration including the White House Chief of Staff, Dennis McDonough.
“Nisha's experience and the success that so many Indian-Americans bring to the American table shows to everybody in the world the deep ties that we have between the US and India.
“And I know that we're going to unlock the enormous potential of stronger economic, security, and cultural ties between our countries,” Kerry said in his remarks.
