Peter Burleigh assumes charge as interim US ambassador to India for second time in 3 years

New Delhi
1 July 2011

Peter Burleigh assumed charge Friday as the interim US ambassador to India, a
position he had briefly held in 2009.

Burleigh was expected to hold the office until the US government nominates a successor
to Tim Roemer, who resigned from the post of ambassador on April 28, citing personal,
professional and family considerations.

Burleigh temporarily served as charge d'affaires in New Delhi from April to July 2009,
after David Mulford completed his tenure as ambassador.
