In a significant move, India is set to open a Consulate General in Auckland, catering to the substantial population of non-resident Indians in New Zealand. The Union Cabinet, chaired by Prime Minister Narendra Modi, granted approval for the establishment of the Consulate General during a meeting on Wednesday, as confirmed by an official statement.

The consulate is expected to be operational within 12 months of approval. Currently, India has a consulate in Auckland, led by an honorary consul. The upgrade to a consulate general indicates the potential appointment of a consul general, typically an officer from the Indian Foreign Service (IFS).

The decision to open a Consulate General of India in Auckland aligns with India’s strategy to expand its diplomatic presence and reinforce representation amid growing global engagements. The move is anticipated to play a pivotal role in advancing India’s strategic and commercial interests while better addressing the welfare needs of the sizable Indian community in Auckland, the statement emphasized.

According to officials, approximately 2.5 lakh individuals of Indian origin reside in New Zealand, with 1.7 lakh in Auckland alone. This move is particularly significant as Auckland houses the India-New Zealand Business Council. Currently, the Indian High Commission in New Zealand is located in Wellington.

Renowned bureaucrat K Kailashnathan (Retd.IAS:1979:GJ), a stalwart in Indian administrative circles, has been granted an unprecedented eleventh extension as the Chief Principal Secretary to the Gujarat Chief Minister, covering a span of six months. Notably, the conclusion of Kailashnathan’s current extension in Gujarat aligns with the commencement of a new government at the center, with speculations indicating a potential return of Narendra Modi as Prime Minister for the third consecutive term. This prompts questions about whether KK is poised for a prominent role at the national level post the parliamentary elections in 2024—an anticipation only time will unravel.

Retiring on May 31, 2013, after an illustrious 33-year service in the Gujarat cadre, K Kailashnathan, characterized by his unassuming demeanor, was specially appointed as the Chief Principal Secretary—a position tailored for him. Remarkably, his tenure in this role has been consistently extended for more than a decade, underscoring his enduring significance. K Kailashnathan’s unwavering trustworthiness is evident in his tenure as a confidant to four Chief Ministers—Narendra Modi, Anandiben Patel, Vijay Rupani, and Bhupendra Patel.

A testament to his enduring influence, K Kailashnathan, along with Dr. PK Mishra, Principal Secretary to the Prime Minister of India, both hailing from the Gujarat Cadre IAS, remains one of the two bureaucrats upon whom Narendra Modi has steadfastly relied for over two decades. The indispensable role played by K Kailashnathan in the Chief Minister’s Office (CMO) in Gujarat highlights Modi’s unwavering trust. Currently, K Kailashnathan shoulders the responsibility of overseeing the politically sensitive and ambitious Sabarmati Gandhi Ashram redevelopment as the Chairman of the Executive Council of the Sabarmati Gandhi Ashram Memorial Trust (SGAMT).
