About this item

Content

This file relates to British Indian (and later, Indian and Pakistani) representation in Jedda, Saudi Arabia.

The earlier correspondence (1937-1946) concerns successive appointments for the position of Indian Vice-Consul at Jedda, whose main responsibilities relate to the interests of Indian pilgrims in Saudi Arabia. Also discussed are details regarding pay and periods of employment for postholders.

The later correspondence (1947-1948) concerns arrangements for diplomatic representation in Saudi Arabia for the newly-independent governments of India and Pakistan. It includes discussion of the Indian Government's wish to appoint its own representative in Jedda, under the rank of Consul.

The main correspondents are the following: His Majesty's Minister at Jedda (later referred to as Ambassador at Jedda; named postholders include Sir Reader William Bullard and later Laurence Barton Grafftey-Smith, succeeded by Alan Charles Trott); the High Commissioner for the United Kingdom in India (Terence Shone); officials of the Foreign Office, the India Office The department of the British Government to which the Government of India reported between 1858 and 1947. The successor to the Court of Directors. , the Government of India's External Affairs Department, and the Office of the High Commissioner for India in London.
