India has announced the appointment of Shri Sanjeev Kumar Singla, currently serving as Ambassador of India to France, as the next Ambassador of India to the Principality of Monaco. The appointment was made effective immediately, with Mr. Singla to reside in Paris.
Shri Sanjeev Kumar Singla brings over two decades of experience in diplomacy and international relations, having served in various capacities in the Indian Foreign Service since 1997. His appointment is seen as a significant development in India's diplomatic efforts in the European region.
The Principality of Monaco, a sovereign state located on the French Riviera, has traditionally maintained strong ties with India. The new ambassador is expected to strengthen these relations and promote economic cooperation between the two nations.
As Ambassador to Monaco, Mr. Singla will be responsible for promoting Indian culture, trade, and investment opportunities in the principality, as well as fostering close relations with the government of Monaco. His appointment marks a significant milestone in India's diplomatic efforts in the region, and is seen as a positive development for bilateral ties between the two countries.
India's Ambassador to France will continue to serve under a separate designation until Mr. Singla takes up his new post. The Indian Embassy in Paris will remain the country's diplomatic mission to France during this transition period.
