The central government has concurrently accredited senior Indian Foreign Service (IFS) officer Pranay Verma as the next Ambassador of India to the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg.
Verma, a 1994-batch IFS officer, is currently serving as India’s Ambassador to the Kingdom of Belgium. According to an announcement by the Ministry of External Affairs, he will continue to be based in Brussels while taking on the additional responsibility for Luxembourg.
The ministry said that he is expected to assume the assignment shortly.
The concurrent accreditation reflects India’s diplomatic approach of strengthening engagement with key European partners and is expected to further enhance bilateral cooperation with Luxembourg in areas such as trade, finance, technology, and multilateral affairs.
