London: Indian High Commissioner to the UK Vikram Doraiswami has presented his credentials to King Charles III at Buckingham Palace in London, marking the formal start of his posting in the country.
Doraiswami is the first Indian envoy to be received at the palace by the King since the death of
Britain’s longest-serving monarch, Queen Elizabeth II, in September.
The ceremony on Thursday steeped in tradition involves a horse-drawn carriage, which conveyed the High Commissioner and his wife, Sangeeta, from their official residence to the palace.
