Senior diplomat Baushuan Ger has been named as new envoy to India by Taiwan.
Baushuan’s appointment was part of personnel changes announced by Taiwan’s foreign ministry on Thursday. Tien, who served as Taiwan’s representative to India for more than seven years, is expected to leave for home on Friday.
However, Baushuan is expected to take up his post in India in September, people familiar with developments said. He is currently director-general of the department of East Asian and Pacific Affairs in Taiwan’s foreign ministry and has served in the US and the UK.
