Assistant Secretary of State for Consular Affairs Rena Bitter will travel February 19-27 to Chennai, Mumbai, New Delhi, and Doha. The Assistant Secretary will engage with embassy and consulate colleagues in all four cities. In India, home to the second largest U.S. consular operation in the world, she will visit facilities in Chennai and Mumbai and lead a U.S. delegation in a bilateral consular dialogue with counterparts in New Delhi. Her visit follows a year of record-breaking visa issuances in India. In Qatar, she will observe the work of our consular teams. Our consular operations in India and Qatar bolster the critical people-to-people and economic ties the United States shares with these vital partners.
