New Delhi, March 21

Career diplomat Patrick John Rata, who is currently serving as the Acting High Commissioner in Colombo, will be the next High Commissioner of New Zealand to India at a time when Auckland has expressed strong interest in improving its political, trade, economic, social and cultural ties.

Rata’s appointment was among a clutch of crucial diplomatic posts announced by New Zealand. Besides replacing Rata in Colombo with David Pine, Andrew Needs will be the High Commissioner to Australia, and Mark Trainor Ambassador to Russia.

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).
