Syed Akbaruddin - A Lifestory
Diplomacy Personified: An Articulate Voice, Bridging Divides, Always Informed
A person known for being good at talking to other countries is a wellknown officer in the Indian Foreign Service (IFS). Their work has made a big impact around the world. Like the main person in a thrilling movie like "Argo", they dealt with tricky international relationships very well. They are not the same person as the actor who was in the movie "Hyderabad Blues" in 1998. Their journey started when they joined the IFS. They moved up in the ranks, showing they could think strategically and talk well. They worked in different Indian offices in other countries and held important jobs in the Ministry of External Affairs, gaining useful experience. They were the main speaker for the Ministry of External Affairs from 2012 to 2015. Their most important job was probably as India's Permanent Representative to the United Nations in New York from 2016 to 2019. During this time, they cleverly represented India's interests around the world. They supported India's views on important topics like stopping terrorism and making things last, like a smart player planning moves in a big game like the Cricket World Cup. People who worked with them often said they were calm under pressure and could explain India's position clearly. This person stopped working in 2021.
