He will also be secretary (special assignment) in the ministry of external affairs (MEA) till the date of his retirement, i.e.

May 31, 2017. A career diplomat who had earlier served as Ambassador of India to Argentina, Khatua also held trade and economic positions in Indian Missions of Madrid, Mexico City, Karachi, Moscow and New York. But not to forget, Khatua is a poet in heart.
