The Ministry of External Affairs on Wednesday appointed seasoned diplomat Parvathaneni Harish as India's next Permanent Representative to the United Nations in New York.
Harish, a 1990-batch Indian Foreign Service officer, is presently serving as India's ambassador to Germany.
He is expected to take up the assignment shortly, the Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) said in a brief statement.
The position of India's ambassador or permanent representative to the UN has been lying vacant after Ruchira Kamboj retired in June.
