The US Ambassador to India, Eric Garcetti, announced that the US will grant a record number of visas to Indians in 2023. He made the announcement at an event in New Delhi hosted by “Indiaspora,” an organization dedicated to improving India-US relations.
Mr. Garcetti said that the decision was made in recognition of the strong ties between the two countries and the growing importance of India in the world. He also said that the US is committed to ensuring freedom of navigation in the South China Sea, and that the US embassy in Delhi is the second largest US mission globally.
This is a positive development for India, as it will allow more Indians to study, work, and travel to the US. It is also a sign of the growing importance of India in the US’s strategic calculus.
