In her remarks, Ms. Biswal said from her childhood and throughout her life, she has sought the opportunity to serve the country, the United States of America, in the way that her grandparents, who were freedom fighters in India, served their country.
“And that is why I am so honoured by the responsibility that has just been invested in me. As the Secretary noted, it is indeed a high honour to represent the United States and to lead our engagement with such a vital region that is shaping global politics and economics for the 21st century,” Mr. Biswal said.
