The Biden administration has now named a senior US diplomat, who had worked on NATO’s role in Europe vis-a-vis Russia as the US Assistant Secretary of State for Europe and Eurasia, as the next Charge d’Affaires ad interim in New Delhi — until a full-time Ambassador is sent to India.
During the Obama administration, Jones had served as Deputy Special Representative for Afghanistan and Pakistan and Acting Assistant Secretary of State for Near Eastern Affairs.
In October 2021, she was appointed as Coordinator for Afghan relocation efforts.
She supervised 54 US ambassadors and their embassies in the early years of the Russian presidency under Vladimir Putin.
