Indian envoys and mission officers to be judged on 3Ts
To keep up with Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s target of $400 billion in merchandise exports, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MEA) has directed all its missions abroad to assess all officials based on the 3T only. The three T’s are trade, technology and tourism.
While India is expected to hit the $400 billion target by March 31, 2022, Foreign Secretary Harsh Shringla has written to all ambassadors and heads of mission, saying that the entire mission should function as a team, while Not leaving India. Strengthen the work of 3Ts for relevant personnel.
India’s commercial exports have exceeded $334 billion, the highest on an annual basis. It is also higher compared to past achievements in any 12-month period.
On August 6, 2021, Prime Minister Narendra Modi addressed the heads of delegations virtually, focusing on strengthening Indian exports, sourcing high-end technology for India, and promoting India as a global tourism destination.
It is in this context that Foreign secretary Shringla reminded all heads of mission last week that the annual assessment of all officials at the embassy will focus on the performance of the 3Ts, including the ambassador himself. Obviously, every officer must self-assess his performance on the 3Ts and then set goals for the next few years.
While the mission focus is on the 3Ts, the MEA also decided to change the criteria for out-of-country assignments, prioritizing language speakers and expertise in the countries they are serving or will serve. It is understood that the Preference Ambassador position will be awarded to officials who speak the language of the country to which they are posted and have experience. In the future, officials will have fewer opportunities to secure positions around the world as priority areas are identified and past experience will be key to future positions. A case in point is Pradeep Rawat travelling to China as an Indian ambassador as the officer speaks the language to understand the nuances and has served the region throughout his career .

Jennifer Lopez ‘let go of her’ high-heeled ego while working with Ben Affleck
As Jennifer Lopez navigates her separation from Ben Affleck, she prioritizes her career, notably in the film Unstoppable.
Jennifer Lopez has “let go of her ego” to prioritise her career and personal growth as she navigates her separation from Ben Affleck.
The 55-year-old actress and singer, during an interview with Amazon/MGM, opened up about working on the upcoming film Unstoppable, a project she co-starred in while estranged from her husband.
“It was an honour to be a part of Anthony [Robles] and to play Judy,” Jennifer shared. “I approached the role with a complete lack of ego where you have to go in there and have so much respect for the person you are playing because it’s her story.”
“I disappeared, there was no Jennifer, no J. Lo. That person on the screen is just Judy. Luckily, I got to spend time with her and see who she was alone and as a mother.”

Affleck praises Lopez’s ‘spectacular’ performance
Affleck and Matt Damon produced the film, which tells the inspiring story of 36-year-old wrestler Anthony Robles.
JLo portrays Judy Robles, Anthony’s mother. Affleck also highly praised Jennifer’s performance, calling her “spectacular.”
“Unstoppable is a very different movie than [Small Things Like These], but in a way it’s similarly rooted in the passion of really talented artists,” Ben told Entertainment Toninght just couple of weeks back. “Billy Goldenberg and Jennifer and Don Cheadle and Jharrel and Bobby Cannavale – all of whom were really passionate about this film.”
After reuniting and marrying in 2022, Jennifer filed for divorce in August 2024. Reports of marital struggles, including living separately, surfaced months before the filing.
“He’s focusing on his work and his kids now,” an insider told InTouch Weekly. “Ben already moved out … They’ll never stop loving each other, but she can’t control him, and he can’t change her.”
