All the best, Vikram. You come with a full toolkit and a substantial empirical base. You will surely add significantly to this Corner Room. Catch your breath occasionally, and enjoy the ride.
Shri Vikram Misri assumed charge as Foreign Secretary today.
#TeamMEA extends a warm welcome to Foreign Secretary Misri and wishes him a successful tenure ahead.
A terrible loss. Saddened. When the big earthquake struck Turkey, Amb Paul was in Delhi for his cancer treatment. He rushed back, abandoning his treatment to coordinate Op. Dost. Just a small act for a big hearted colleague. Rest in Peace. Om Shanti.
We are deeply saddened at the untimely demise of Ambassador Virander Paul, India’s envoy to Türkiye.
A dedicated officer, he will always be remembered for his exceptional human qualities and impactful professional contribution.
Our heartfelt condolences to his family. Team @MEAIndia stands with them in this difficult hour.
Touche.....so simple, and yet so profound...only a teetotller could have expressed it..meaningful words all through...copyright should loosen for more recitation versions and in songs ....Cheers

Agreed to remain in touch.
A pleasure as always to meet with @UN Secretary-General @antonioguterres.
Discussed Agenda 2030, UN reforms, the West Asia situation, maritime security and the Ukraine conflict.
Delivered India’s statement at the 19th NAM Summit in Kampala today.
Highlighted the challenges of Covid, conflict, climate change, debt and inflation.
Emphasized the need for NAM to challenge concentrations that undermine our economic security. Argued for creating regional economic hubs and resilient supply chains.
Spoke about India as Vishwa Mitra. 600 projects across 78 nations, Vaccine Maitri and First Responder actions are proof.
On Gaza, stressed that the humanitarian crisis requires a sustainable solution that gives immediate relief. Terrorism and hostage taking are unacceptable. The conflict must not spread. NAM should seek a two-state solution.
The more we share, collaborate and reinforce each other, the more NAM will change the world.
