Anwar Hussain Shaik’s foreign deputation extended for 7 months at PMI-WTO, Geneva

Anwar Hussain Shaik (IRTS:2000), currently serving as Counsellor (Agriculture) at the Permanent Mission of India (PMI) to the World Trade Organization (WTO) in Geneva, has been granted an extension of his foreign deputation tenure for an additional seven months. This decision follows an order issued by the Department of Personnel and Training (DoPT) on August 31, 2023.

The Appointments Committee of the Cabinet has given its approval to the Department of Commerce’s proposal to extend Mr. Shaik’s foreign deputation tenure. This extension will be effective beyond August 31, 2023, and will continue until March 31, 2023, or until his successor assumes the role at the Mission, or until further orders are issued—whichever occurs earlier.
