India appoints Munu Mahawar as the new High Commissioner to Maldives on Friday.
Previous ambassador to Maldives Sunjay Sudhir was appointed as High Commissioner in March, 2019. He has been appointed as the ambassador to United Arab Emirates as his term in office in Maldives ended.
In a special ceremony held in India's Presidential Palace, President of India Ram Nath Kovind awarded the Letter of Credence to Mahawar.
