“Human rights to be a ‘ core’ part of Garcetti’s engagement with India”: THE HINDU
“Joe Biden nominates Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti as his envoy to India”: “In addition, respect for human rights and strong democratic institutions are key elements of our strategic partnership and values enshrined in our constitutions, and if confirmed, I will engage closely and regularly with the Indian government on these issues,” he said.
The bedrock of our partnership are the human ties that connect our nations, embodied by the four million strong Indian-American diaspora that strengthens our nation and the nearly two hundred thousand Indian students and tens of thousands of Indian professionals who contribute to our economy,” Garcetti said.

The Los Angeles Mayor said in 1992, the year he graduated from college after studying Hindi and Indian cultural and religious history, US-India ties languished in the shadow of Cold War era mistrust. Annual trade stood at a paltry USD 2 billion, defence trade was zero and military interoperability was non-existent. The very idea of a US-India strategic partnership would have been deemed laughable”. The Indian EXPRESS

Will "Actively Raise" Human Rights: Joe Biden's Pick For Envoy To India: "Few nations are more vital to the future of American security and prosperity than India," Eric Garcetti told the Senate Foreign Relations Committee.

Washington: Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti on Tuesday was questioned by lawmakers weighing his nomination to become the ambassador to India.
Garcetti during his testimony gave a statement followed by questions from lawmakers of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee."Few nations are more vital to the future of American security and prosperity than India," Garcetti told the committee.
The Senate Foreign Relations Committee chaired by Sen. Robert Menendez, a Democrat lawmaker from New Jersey, along with only a handful of Democrats and two Republicans, stressed how Washington sees India as a key partner in its effort to push back against China's expanding power and influence.
"If confirmed, I will endeavour to advance our ambitious bilateral partnership united by a free and open and inclusive Indo-Pacific region," Garcetti said in his remarks....
"If confirmed, though, I would advocate following the continued diversification of India's weapon system, the threats to our own weapon systems if that diversification doesn't occur, because we have to protect our data and our systems and work towards really growing this Major Defence Partnership," Garcetti said in his testimony.
The White House statement released earlier this year said Garcetti had spent 12 years as an intelligence officer in the US Navy Reserve Component, serving under the commander of the US Pacific Fleet and with the Defense Intelligence Agency, before retiring in 2017 as a lieutenant”. NDTV
“The US senate committee also sought to task Garcetti with India’s “democratic backsliding”, human rights, and questions about the Citizenship Amendment Act.
Responding to the committee, Garcetti said, “There’s no question that the US-India relationship should be underpinned by our common commitment to democracy, to human rights and to civil society (as enshrined) in our constitutions, both the oldest democracy in the world and the largest democracy in the world”, ANI reported”. the quint
