NEW DELHI: Vinay Kumar (IFS: 1992), presently Ambassador to Myanmar, has been appointed as the next Ambassador to the Russian Federation, informed the Ministry of External Affairs (MEA).
He is expected to take up the assignment shortly, the MEA also said.
Russia which recently underwent elections, has been a longstanding and time-tested partner for India. The development of India-Russia relations has been a key pillar of India’s foreign policy.
“Since the signing of Declaration on the India-RussiaStrategic Partnership in October 2000 (during the visit of Russian President Vladimir Putin), India-Russia ties have acquired a qualitatively new character with enhanced levels of cooperation in almost all areas of the bilateral relationship,” the MEA said in a statement.
