Seasoned diplomat Vikram K Doraiswami was on Tuesday appointed India’s new high commissioner to the United Kingdom, considered an important posting in view of the growing strategic ties between the two countries.

The Indian Foreign Service officer of 1992 batch is currently serving as Indian high commissioner to Bangladesh.

“He is expected to take up the assignment shortly,” the Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) said.

The overall ties between India and Bangladesh witnessed a major expansion during Doraiswami’s tenure in Dhaka that began in October 2020.

High Commissioner to the UK Gaitri Issar Kumar retired from service on June 30.

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).
