India has named Vikram Misri, who serves as deputy national security adviser at the moment, to be its next foreign secretary. On July 15, 2024, he will take office and replace the current Vinay Kwatra. Let’s examine Misri’s past and the importance of this appointment.
An Effective Diplomat
Misri is an invaluable tool because of his vast diplomatic expertise and connections within the Chinese bureaucracy. His experience managing intricate international connections has been refined by his prior assignments in Spain, Myanmar, and other nations.
A Successful Diplomat
Misri’s extensive experience in diplomacy and his ties within the Chinese bureaucracy make him a significant asset. His previous positions in Spain, Myanmar, and other countries have enhanced his knowledge handling complex international relationships.
An Expedition of Assistance
Misri, who was born in Srinagar in 1964, finished his elementary schooling in Gwalior. He graduated from Delhi University’s Hindu College with a bachelor’s degree in history and XLRI with an MBA. As a member of the 1989 class, Misri started his diplomatic career in the Indian Foreign Service. He worked in Indian missions in Tunis and Brussels during his formative years. He was appointed India’s ambassador to Spain in 2014, then in 2016 he was posted as India’s ambassador to Myanmar.
Transition and Continuity
Following Vinay Mohan Kwatra’s six-month extension as Foreign Secretary in March of this year, Misri was appointed. But the ruling has since been changed, and Kwatra’s term is set to expire on July 14. Misri is well-positioned for the challenges that lie ahead because to his wide history and skill in China politics.
