The confirmation hearing of Kenneth Ian Juster for the post of United States Ambassador to India will be held on 3 October, a Senate committee has said. The scheduling of confirmation hearing by Senate Foreign Relations Committee (SFRC) comes less than a month after US President Donald Trump nominated 62-years-old Juster as Washington’s top envoy to New Delhi.
Senator Bob Corker, Chairman of the SFRC would preside the hearing at the Senate Dirksen building on October 3. If confirmed by the Senate, he would replace Richard Verma as the top American diplomat to India.
Verma told Forbes that Juster will carry on the tradition of bipartisan support to India-US relationship. “He’s a real professional, and I know he will be warmly welcomed in India. I also know he is the right person to drive the partnership to the next level,” he was quoted as saying.
“All Americans should be happy that President Trump has chosen Ken to represent him and the United States in New Delhi,” former US Ambassador to India, Frank Wisner, told Forbes. PTI
