Vikram Doraiswami appointed India's next ambassador to China
New Delhi (PTI): Seasoned diplomat Vikram Doraiswami was on Thursday appointed as India's new ambassador to China.
Doraiswami, a 1992-batch Indian Foreign Service officer, is currently serving as Indian High Commissioner to the United Kingdom.
India's decision to send the senior diplomat to Beijing comes amid efforts by the two sides to rebuild the bilateral ties that came under severe strain following the more than four-year border standoff in eastern Ladakh.
Doraiswami will succeed Pradeep Kumar Rawat.
He is expected to take up the assignment shortly, the Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) said announcing Doraiswami's new appointment.
