INDIANAPOLIS (AP) - Former U.S. Rep. Tim Roemer of Indiana is the nation's new
ambassador to India.
The Senate on Friday confirmed President Barack Obama's
nomination of Roemer, who represented the South Bend area in the
U.S. House from 1991 to 2003. Roemer, the former Sept. 11
commissioner, endorsed Obama during his primary campaign and was a
strong advocate of Obama's foreign policy approach.
As the top U.S. diplomat in India, Roemer will face tough
challenges in New Delhi, where U.S. and Indian interests are deeply
linked.
