New Delhi, May 21

In a first, seven envoys, including from Australia, North Korea and Mauritius, presented their credentials to President Ram Nath Kovind via videoconferencing on Thursday.

One High Commissioner Santi Bai Hanoomanjee from Mauritius is of Indian origin. Of the outgoing envoys, High Commissioner of Australia Harinder Sandhu was of Indian-origin. Remarking on the presenting of the credentials through the digital medium, the President said this technology had enabled the world to overcome the challenges posed by Covid.

He called the digitally enabled credential ceremony a special day in India’s engagement with the diplomatic community in New Delhi. India remains committed to harnessing the limitless possibilities of the digital pathway for the advancement of its people, he said. —TNS

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).
