Prime Minister Narendra Modi is firming up plans to appoint a Foreign Policy Adviser to guide his office’s handling of critical national security and geo-strategic issues, highly placed government sources told The Hindu on Friday.
The appointment is likely to take place within days, the sources said. The sources said Subrahmanyam Jaishankar, an Indian Foreign Service officer who currently serves as India’s Ambassador to the U.S., was among the leading contenders for the position.
The former Intelligence Bureau chief Ajit Kumar Doval was appointed National Security Adviser on Friday.
