Appointment comes at a time when ties between New Delhi and Washington are witnessing multiple challenges. More so, Kwatra will take up posting during an election year in the US.
Kwatra has previously served in Washington D.C., Beijing, Paris and Kathmandu. His tenure will face multiple challenges in the US – India ties, Pannun, and Modi’s Russia visit.
Kwatra will take over at a time when India’s neighbourhood is riddled with challenges. He is India’s envoy to Nepal, and served in the PMO and in Indian missions in US & China.
