The deputy high commissioner represents the UK Government and is often in charge of consular, visa, and trade operations in their city or region. The new British Deputy High Commissioner will be responsible for all works undertaken by the UK in AP and TS. After working in several positions in Russia, Armenia, Iran, and Azerbaijan, Owen possesses knowledge in various fields, including fostering commercial relationships, fostering partnerships in science and innovation, combating climate change, and promoting economic growth to eradicate poverty.
Speaking on his arrival in Hyderabad, Owen said he is happy to be in India, especially during this exciting phase in the India-UK relationship.
