New Delhi, April 15, 2025: Rajeev Kumar has been appointed as the next High Commissioner of India to Papua New Guinea. Currently serving as India’s Ambassador to Senegal, Kumar is set to succeed the outgoing High Commissioner in Port Moresby. His appointment underscores India’s commitment to strengthening diplomatic ties and enhancing bilateral cooperation with Papua New Guinea.
India established its High Commission in Port Moresby in 1996, marking a significant step in fostering diplomatic relations with Papua New Guinea. The two nations have since collaborated in various sectors, including agriculture, health, and infrastructure development. Kumar’s extensive experience in international diplomacy is expected to further bolster these ties and contribute to mutual growth and understanding.
