New Delhi: Rudrendra Tandon, who is currently serving as Additional Secretary in the Ministry of External Affairs, has been appointed as the next ambassador of India to Greece. Tandon was the Indian Ambassador to Afghanistan when Taliban took over the country in August 2021.

He returned to India from Kabul along with several other Indian Embassy officials, staff and Indian citizens on August 17, 2021, two days after the Taliban takeover.

Tandon, an IFS officer of 1994 batch, was heading the BIMSTEC and SAARC division in the MEA.

He took over as India’s ambassador to Afghanistan in September 2020. Prior to that he was India’s ambassador to the ASEAN Secretariat from 2018. He had earlier also served as India’s Consul General in Jalalabad (Afghanistan).

He has also served as Joint Secretary in the Pakistan-Afghanistan-Iran division in the ministry.
