Pakistan today appointed career diplomat Abdul Basit as its new High Commissioner to India.

Analysts said the move was possibly to accomodate Basit, the current Ambassador to Germany, in the crucial posting.

Last posting of Syed Ibne Abbas in Delhi saw many highs & lows in India-Pak relations.

Veteran Pakistani diplomats Syed Ibne Abbas and Jalil Abbas Jilani would be the new Pakistani envoys to India and the US respectively.
