Ruchi Ghanashyam appointed India's next High Commissioner to UK

Senior diplomat Ruchi Ghanashyam has been appointed as India's next High Commissioner to the United Kingdom, the External Affairs Ministry said today.

She succeeds Y K Sinha who had assumed the charge as the Indian High Commissioner in the UK in December 2016.

Ghanashyam, a 1982-batch Indian Foreign Service officer, is currently Secretary at the headquarters here and is expected to take up the assignment shortly, the ministry said.

Her appointment comes at a crucial time when the UK is in the process of coming out of the European Union.
