New ambassador to Argentina

I am rather late to this story, since he had posted it about two weeks ago, but Rengaraj Viswanathan has been appointed Indian Ambassador to Argentina, starting October 2007. Congratulations! He was Ambassador to Venezuela from 2000 to 2003.

The reason this is cool is that he blogs at Latin American Affairs, and tells me that he will continue to do so after he takes his new post. Obviously, we can’t expect him to give away state secrets, but he offers a really unique perspective for anyone interested in Latin America. You can also take a look at his website, where he provides links to quite a few articles he’s written, especially about opportunities for India to pay more attention to Latin America.
