Belize city: Taiwan's new ambassador to Belize, Amino Chi, has arrived in the Central American country to take up his post, as announced by the Republic of China (Taiwan) embassy on Sunday.
According to Focus Taiwan, Chi, who most recently served as director-general of the Taipei Economic and Cultural Office in Los Angeles, arrived in Belize on Thursday night. He was welcomed at the airport by a group of overseas Taiwanese, embassy staff, and members of the technical mission, as noted in a Facebook post by the embassy.
The latest assignment marks Chi's third posting to Belize, where he previously served as first and third secretary at the embassy there, stated the Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MOFA). Chi succeeds his predecessor, Lily Hsu, who concluded her three-year tenure in Belize and returned to Taipei earlier this month.
Meanwhile, Taiwan's representative office to the European Union and Belgium bid farewell to its outgoing deputy head of mission, Jason Ma, on Sunday. Ma is leaving Brussels to take up a new post in Los Angeles, filling the vacancy left by Chi.
