Vishwesh Negi, 2002-batch IFS officer, appointed next ambassador of India to Iran

Vishwesh Negi, a 2002 batch Indian Foreign Service (IFS) officer, has been appointed as the next ambassador of India to Iran. This appointment comes in the wake of the recent West Asia conflict sparked by Israeli and US strikes on Iran, during which India evacuated thousands of its nationals from the country. The Ministry of External Affairs confirmed the appointment and stated that Negi is expected to assume his duties shortly.
