Four newly appointed ambassadors presented their credentials to Prince Albert II before attending a diplomatic lunch hosted by the Minister of Foreign Affairs at the Hôtel Hermitage.

On Friday 30th May, Monaco officially welcomed four new ambassadors during a day of diplomatic protocol and engagement. Following a formal ceremony at the Prince’s Palace, where each diplomat presented their Letters of Credence to Prince Albert II, the ambassadors were received by Isabelle Berro-Amadeï, Minister of Foreign Affairs and Cooperation, for a lunch held at the Hôtel Hermitage.

The newly accredited ambassadors include Mohammad Amin Nejad of the Islamic Republic of Iran, who previously served in Niger and is concurrently accredited to Côte d’Ivoire, Gabon and Liberia. Sarun Charoensuwan of the Kingdom of Thailand, formerly stationed in Belgium, also took up his new post. Jaroslav Kurfürst of the Czech Republic, who similarly served in Belgium, was accredited alongside Maksat Chariyev of Turkmenistan. Chariyev, who resides in Paris, is also the Permanent Delegate of Turkmenistan to UNESCO and the accredited ambassador to Portugal.

The lunch provided a platform for dialogue and exchange, bringing together the new ambassadors with key Monegasque stakeholders. Among the guests were honorary consuls of the Czech Republic and Thailand, as well as representatives from the Monaco Economic Board and Monaco Private Label. The gathering highlighted Monaco’s commitment to international diplomacy and its intention to deepen bilateral ties in fields ranging from culture to economic cooperation.
