Advocacy group US-India Political Action Committee has welcomed the appointment of Timothy J Roemer as the new US Ambassador to India.
Roemer was confirmed by the US Senate last week.
"Roemer's nomination is reassuring as he brings with him quality experience on issues of terrorism as well as national and international security, a subject of great importance in this relationship," said Sanjay Puri, the chairman of the committee.
"Roemer's past work in various positions made him a seasoned diplomat and his service as President of the Center for National Policy gave him an extra dimension to operate in India and in South Asia at large," Puri said in a statement.
He hoped that the new ambassador will have "an opportunity to build on the work of the past administration and set the tone for a new relationship".
