About Natwar Singh

  • Kunwar Natwar Singh (born 16 May 1931) is an Indian politician, a former senior bureaucrat, a former Union cabinet minister, and a writer. Singh was selected into the Indian Foreign Service, one of the most competitive and prestigious government services, in 1953.
  • In 1984, he resigned from the service to contest elections as a member of the Indian National Congress party.
  • He won the election and served as a union minister of state until 1989.
  • Thereafter, he had a patchy political career until being made India's foreign minister in 2004.
  • However, 18 months later, he had to resign under a cloud after the UN's Volcker committee named both him and the Congress party to which he belonged as beneficiaries of illegal pay-offs in the Iraqi oil scam.
