Internationally, Kaul has reported from over a dozen global summits, including the G20 in Australia, BRICS in China, ASEAN in Malaysia and Vietnam, and SAARC in Nepal, as well as high-level visits to the United States, Germany, Israel, and several other countries.

His access to world leaders has led to exclusive interviews with figures such as External Affairs Minister Dr. S. Jaishankar, Afghan Vice President Amrullah Saleh, Australian Prime Minister Tony Abbott, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, and numerous other global luminaries.

On his appointment, Aditya Raj Kaul said: “It is an honour to join NDTV at this important juncture.

His track record - from conflict zones to global summits, from documentaries to breaking investigations- is formidable. That his very first day has taken him to Tianjin to cover one of the year’s most significant diplomatic gatherings shows his readiness and NDTV’s commitment to being at the forefront of the big global stories.”
