American president Joe Biden has nominated Shefali Razdan Duggal as the new US ambassador to the Netherlands.

Razdan Duggal, 50, is politically active within the Democratic party and a known champion of women’s rights. She was born in India and moved to the US at the age of two. She now lives with her husband and two children in San Francisco.

The Netherlands has been without a US ambassador since Pete Hoekstra left after Donald Trump lost the presidential election. Since 2005, no US ambassador to the Netherlands has completed a four-year term in office.

Razdan Duggal’s appointment must first be approved by the senate.
