Shri Sibi George, the Indian ambassador to Kuwait, is most likely to be named as the new ambassador to Japan. Sibi George will take the place of Sanjay Kumar Verma, the Indian ambassador to Japan who is relocating to Canada, according to Indian media reports.

A formal announcement has not yet been made, though. The new appointment in Kuwait received no mention in the reports, either. Both the Indian diaspora and Kuwaiti citizens praised Sibi George, who established new standards for the Indian Embassy in Kuwait. He had altered the Embassy's appearance to make it the second home of the more than 10 lakh Indians who now reside in Kuwait.

Sibi George's departure from Kuwait will be a big loss for the neighbourhood since he launched numerous new programs for community welfare and promoted Indian among the people. Sibi George has previously worked in Tehran, Riyadh, Switzerland, Cairo, Doha, and Washington, D.C.
