Paul Kapur, a professor with extensive knowledge of South Asia's nuclear policy, seems set to take on a crucial diplomatic role amid ongoing tensions.
Paul Kapur, a South Asia security expert and professor at the US Naval Postgraduate School, has been confirmed as the US State Department's new key diplomat for South Asian Affairs. Kapur, who has extensive experience in regional strategy and nuclear policy, will assume his new role at a critical moment for US-South Asia relations.
