In a first move of its kind, Indian High Commissioner designate to Sri Lanka, Gopal Baglay (IFS:1992) on Thursday presented his credentials to the Sri Lankan President Gotabaya Rajapaksa in Colombo. What prompted the Indian government to use digital tools, was the corona outbreak necessitating.
Himself a great believer in the use of technology, the Sri Lankan President accepted credentials of two more envoys besides Baglay, Ambassadors of Iran and Brazil. Now Baglay can immediately start functioning as High Commissioner. He had reached Colombo nearly a week ago.
The diplomats presented their credentials to the President by displaying it to the camera.
