Obama nominates Richard Verma as new US envoy to India
If confirmed by the US Senate, Verma, who earlier served as the Assistant Secretary of State for Legislative Affairs and is now in the private sector, would be the first Indian-American to serve as the top US diplomat in New Delhi. Obama announced his nomination along with several other key administration appointments.
"I am grateful that these impressive individuals have chosen to dedicate their talents to serving the American people at this important time for our country. I look forward to working with them in the months and years ahead," Obama said in a statement. The US Embassy in New Delhi is currently headed by a Charge d'affaires, Kathleen Stephens. Verma, 45, said to be a close confidant of the President and also former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, currently serves as Senior Counselor at Steptoe & Johnson law firm and the Albright Stonebridge Group.
