India may soon be moving senior diplomat Gourangalal Das (IFS:1999) to Taiwan. Das is currently serving as the Joint Secretary of its Americas division in the Ministry of External Affairs.

Gourangalal Das is likely to be the new Director-General of India Taipei Association – a representative office of India in Taipei.

India has no formal diplomatic ties with Taiwan and supports the one-China policy.

Meanwhile, Taiwan has also named East Asian and Pacific Affairs Director-General Baushuan Ger as Taiwan’s representative to India, replacing Tien Chung-Kwang who for the past seven years was at the Taipei Economic and Cultural Centre in India.
