Some foreign mission heads for rotation next year

Rotation of some heads of missions and ambassadors will take place next year in keeping with a commitment to have them moved on a regular basis, Minister of Foreign Affairs Carl Greenidge says.

“I did give an undertaking that they would be rotated. I did not intend that they would all be rotated at once. You will see during this coming year that there will be rotations,” he told reporters at a press conference at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs on Thursday. Greenidge said that the rotations occur over two, three or four-year periods.

“You rotate them or they reach retirement and you take them out of service. We have not forgotten,” he said in response to a question posed by Stabroek News.
