New Delhi: One of the country’s finest diplomats, Syed Akbaruddin in his soft spoken voice with his team, conveyed India’s position which the world leaders and the UN took note of and Masood Azhar was declared as a global terrorist. Again, when China tried to raise the issue of Kashmir on behalf of Pakistan, it was countered by Akbaruddin.
When China tried to raise the issue of Kashmir on behalf of Pakistan, it was countered by the suave diplomat.
Akbaruddin, India’s permanent representative to the United Nations (UN), took leave from the UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres via video conferencing with a `Namaste’ on his last day at work. He has kept successfully country’s position on all issues on this global platform for more than four years and has on many occasions bowled over the Pakistan media during press conferences at the UN.
Akbaruddin is his typical style with a smile has always given a befitting response to the Pakistan side on a wide range of critical issues including Kashmir, the issue of Article 370, on terrorism or matters related to the minorities.
Despite China’s constant efforts to create obstacles in India’s efforts in getting Pakistan based Masood Azhar, the leader of terrorist organisation Jaish-e-Mohammed, as a global terrorist, Akbaruddin succeeded.
Succeeding Akbaruddin, TS Tirumurti has been appointed as the next ambassador to the United Nations and will be taking over shortly. He is currently working as a Secretary, Economic Relations in the Ministry of External Affairs.
