T. S. Tirumurti (born 7 March 1962) is a retired Indian civil servant of the Indian Foreign Service cadre.[8] He has been the former Permanent Representative of India to the United Nations.[9]

Personal life[edit]

Tirumurti was born in Coimbatore.[10] He completed his schooling at the Vidya Mandir, Chennai. He secured his Bachelor of Commerce degree from Ramakrishna Mission Vivekananda College, Chennai. The teachings of Swami Vivekananda, Sri Ramakrishna and the Holy Mother have since guided him in his life. He subsequently completed his LL.B. (Bachelor of Laws) from Campus Law Centre, Delhi University in 1985.[1] He is the grandson of Dr. T. S. Tirumurti who was the Principal of Stanley Medical College, Chennai and Officiating Vice-Chancellor of Andhra University.[11]

He is married to Gowri Tirumurti and they have two children - a daughter and a son.[1] Tirumurti's wife Gowri is the daughter of the retired tennis player Ramanathan Krishnan.[12][13] Gowri was the Indian National Juniors Champion in 1982 and competed in French Open Juniors.[13] She is currently a Partner in an Intellectual Property Law firm, Delhi. Their son Vishwajit and daughter Bhavani are also tennis players.[10][14]

Career[edit]

Ambassador T. S. Tirumurti joined the Indian Foreign Service in 1985. He served in Indian diplomatic missions in Cairo, Geneva, Gaza, Washington, D.C., Jakarta and Kuala Lumpur. He has served at the Ministry of External Affairs, Government of India in New Delhi as Under Secretary (Bhutan), Director (Foreign Secretary's Office), Joint Secretary (Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, Myanmar and Maldives) as well as Joint Secretary (United Nations Economic and Social Division).[1]

Tirumurti was the first Representative of India to the Palestinian National Authority.[15][16][7] He was the Deputy Chief of Mission in Jakarta and the Indian High Commissioner to Malaysia.[1] He was the Secretary of Economic Relations in the Ministry of External Affairs, India.

United Nations[edit]

On 19 May 2020, he took over as the Permanent Representative of India to the United Nations succeeding Syed Akbaruddin.[17]

While he was Permanent Representative to the United Nations, India was elected to the UN Security Council in July 2020.[18] India entered the UN Security Council for a two-year term on 1 January 2021. India was also elected to the UN Commission on the Status of Women (CSW) for 2021-2025 and the Advisory Committee on Administrative and Budgetary Questions (ACABQ) for the term 2021-2023.

In accordance with the monthly rotation policy, he was President of the UN Security Council for August 2021.[19]

After Russia invaded Ukraine in 2022, Tirumurti justified India's abstention from a UN Security Council vote condemning Russia's invasion.[20][21] Out of the Council's 15 members, 11 voted in favor, 1 (Russia itself) voted against, and 3 (China, India, and the United Arab Emirates) abstained; the resolution thus failed due to Russia's use of its veto power.[21]

Again in May 2022, T.S Tirumurti was in the news when he replied to a tweet by the Ambassador of the Netherlands to the UK and Northern Ireland who stated that India should not have abstained from voting in the UN General Assembly’s session on Ukraine. He replied saying “Kindly don't patronize us Ambassador, we know what to do”.[22]
