Harjinder Kang, Britain’s Chief Negotiator for the India-UK free trade agreement (FTA) was on Wednesday named as the country’s new Trade Commissioner to South Asia and Deputy High Commissioner for Western India.

“I am delighted to welcome Harjinder to this role. He has been an integral part of our India trade deal team,” said UK Business and Trade Secretary Kemi Badenoch. Kang will succeed Alan Gemmell as Deputy High Commissioner.

“It is an honour to be appointed as Trade Commissioner for South Asia and Deputy High Commissioner for Western India, both vibrant and growing regions, which are pivotal to the UK’s security and prosperity,” said Kang.

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
