Fernando de la Serna Inciarte, former Spanish Ambassador to Jamaica and Trinidad and Tobago, died last Saturday in Madrid at the age of 72.
A diplomat since 1976, Fernando de la Serna had been ill for several years and had held various posts of responsibility in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Presidency of the Government, as well as abroad.
Between 1996 and 2001 he was Ambassador to Jamaica, with multiple accreditation to Antigua and Barbuda, Dominica, Grenada, St. Vincent and the Grenadines, St. Kitts and Nevis, the Bahamas, Barbados and St. Lucia.
In 2001 he was appointed Ambassador-at-Large for the Antarctic Treaty, and in 2006 he took up the post of Ambassador to Trinidad and Tobago, also with multiple accreditation in several Caribbean countries, some of which he had already served as Ambassador when he was Ambassador to Jamaica.
He was also Ambassador-at-Large for Central Asia and Assistant Director-General for Security Affairs.
Fernando de la Serna’s death comes a day after that of Estanislao de Grandes, former ambassador to Argentina, Slovakia and Romania, which was previously reported by The Diplomat.
