New Foreign Minister

It is heartening to hear that Dr. Singh is planning to induct a full-time Foreign Minister on his return to India. Today, international commerce has become a major component of foreign relations. Hence, a Minister who has a good exposure to and knowledge of commerce should be considered.

As the biggest democracy and country with the second largest population that is struggling to fight trans-border terror, India certainly needs a full-time Foreign Minister. A person who understands the international environment, particularly the Pakistan factor, and has a command over English will be an advantage to the country.
