New Delhi: A parliamentary panel has recommended to the Centre to consider appointing a "polar ambassador", saying that creating such a position will help India project the importance given to these regions in its foreign policy architecture, and also help pursue "polar diplomacy" in a more effective manner.
The Parliamentary Standing Committee on External Affairs, led by Congress leader Shashi Tharoor, said this in a report -- "India's Role and Presence in the Arctic and Antarctic Regions" -- tabled in Parliament on Thursday.
