Foreign Ministry Reshuffle

Hardeep Singh Puri, a 1974-batch Indian Foreign Service officer who has served as India's Permanent Representative to the United Nations from 2009 to 2013, has been inducted as Minister of State (Independent Charge) of the Ministry of Housing and Urban Affairs in Prime Minister Narendra Modi's cabinet today.

Key postings of Indian envoys to Pakistan, China, the UK and the United Nations have been done by the government in a major reshuffle at the top echelons of External Affairs Ministry.

The official did not specify whether that would involve raising the overall debt limits for foreign investors, or whether it would entail reshuffling limits between the different debt categories.
