India's camp office in Djibouti to be relocated

India's camp office in Djibouti, which was nerve centre of a major evacuation operation in strife-torn Yemen last year, will soon stop working from there.
The camp office in Djibouti, a country neighbouring Yemen and across the Red Sea, was set up to ensure smooth implementation of 'Operation Raahat'.
"Consequent upon successful completion of Operation Rahat, it has been decided to relocate the Camp Office of Embassy of India in Sana'a, Yemen in Djibouti, to the Headquarters of the Ministry of External Affairs in New Delhi," the External Affairs Ministry said in a release.
It said a Yemen cell has been constituted within the Gulf Division in the Ministry which will look after the functions of camp office in Djibouti.

In the wake of violence, Indian Embassy in Yemen's capital Sana'a was closed and all its functions were carried out from the Djibouti camp office.
Embassy of India in Amman, Jordan, has been designated as the nodal point for issuing visa and other consular services to Yemeni nationals and Indian nationals resident in Yemen, the MEA said.
