Islamabad: Newly appointed Pakistan High Commissioner in India Aziz Ahmed Khan will arrive in New Delhi on June 30 to take up his new assignment, the Online News reported on June 29.

Senior government officials in Islamabad said Khan, who earlier served as Foreign Office spokesman and Ambassador to Afghanistan, will enter India via Wagah border. All arrangements have been finalised in this regard, they added.

The new envoy is likely to present his credentials to Indian President Abul Kalam in the second week of July.

On the other hand, Indian High Commissioner-designate to Pakistan Shiv Shanker Menon is likely to assume his new job in mid-July.

The resumption of full-scale diplomatic ties is a part of confidence-building measures announced by both the countries after relations got strained following the December 13 attack on Indian Parliament, which New Delhi blamed on Islamabad.
