This morning at Government House Wellington, Dame Cindy received the credentials for the following new heads of mission to New Zealand: HE Mr Luis Alfonso Sánchez-Vellisco Sánchez, Ambassador of Spain; HE Mr Mohamed Trabelsi, Ambassador of the Republic of Tunisia; HE Mr Klas Molin, Ambassador of Sweden; and HE Mr Chatoulong Bouasisavath, Ambassador of the Lao People’s Democratic Republic.
The Royal New Zealand Air Force provided the cultural welcome for arriving dignitaries on this blustery Wellington morning. We wish these new heads of mission all the very best in carrying out their roles.
