India is set to establish its consulate in Seattle, USA, nearly seven years after the initial announcement. Following discussions between Prime Minister Narendra Modi and US President Joe Biden in June, plans were confirmed for the consulate's operationalization by the end of this month. Indian Foreign Service officer Prakash Gupta will serve as the first Consulate-General in Seattle, a prominent technology hub. The move aligns with the Indo-US joint statement, reflecting the countries' commitment to enhancing diplomatic relations, fostering strategic partnerships, and facilitating increased travel between them.
