The Indian High Commissioner of India to the Maldives Shri Rajeev Shahare has been appointed as the next Ambassador of India to Denmark, the Indian external affairs ministry has said.
He is expected to take up his assignment shortly, the ministry said in a brief statement on August 12.
Shahare replaced D M Mulay in February 2013, at a time when relations between India and Maldives were at an all time low due to the abrupt termination of an airport development contract with Indian infrastructure giant GMR.
With the election of President Abdulla Yameen in November 2013, India eased visa restrictions and lifted a ban on exporting construction material.
