Permanent Mission of India to the United Nations

The Permanent Mission of India to the United Nations serves as India's official delegation to the UN, reflecting India's long-standing commitment as a founding member since 1942. Located in a striking 27-story red granite building in Manhattan, designed by renowned architect Charles Correa, the mission plays a crucial role in international diplomacy. Currently led by Ambassador Ruchira Kamboj, the first woman to hold this position, the mission has expanded its team to enhance India's presence in the UN Security Council, where it served as a non-permanent member from 2021 to 2022. This mission not only represents India's interests but also showcases its architectural and cultural heritage in the heart of New York City.
