Ambassador Vikram Misri, who was appointed as the Deputy National Security Advisor, is succeeded by Rawat.
Rawat, a 1990 batch Indian Foreign Service (IFS) officer, was previously India’s ambassador to the Netherlands. His appointment comes amid a continuing border stalemate in eastern Ladakh. He had earlier worked in Hong Kong and Beijing. From September 2017 until December 2020, Rawat served as India’s ambassador to Indonesia and Timor-Leste.
