Seasoned diplomat Parvathaneni Harish was on Wednesday (August 14) appointed as India’s next ambassador to the United Nations in New York.

Mr. Harish, a 1990-batch Indian Foreign Service officer, is presently serving as India’s ambassador to Germany.

He is expected to take up the assignment shortly, the Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) said in a brief statement.

The position of India’s ambassador or permanent representative to the U.N. has been lying vacant after Ruchira Kamboj retired in June.
