According to an official announcement from the Ministry of External Affairs, Bhushan is expected to assume his responsibilities in Stockholm shortly. His appointment comes at a time when India and Sweden are deepening cooperation in areas such as innovation, sustainability, green technology, and multilateral dialogue.
