<h6><strong>Eduardo González</strong></h6> <h4><strong>King Felipe VI will receive this Monday at the Royal Palace in Madrid the Credentials of the new ambassadors of Ghana, Slovenia, France, Nepal, Rwanda and Mongolia.</strong></h4> According to the Royal House, the King will receive, in the traditional ceremony to be held at the Royal Palace in Madrid, the Letters of Credence of the accredited ambassadors of Ghana, Regina Appiah-Sam; Slovenia, Tadej Rupel; France, Kareen Rispal; Nepal, Shanil Nepal; Rwanda, François Nkulikiyimfura; and Mongolia, Nyamkhuu Ulambayar. The Credentials are the document that accredits a foreign ambassador as the representative and highest diplomatic authority of another country in Spain. The ceremony of delivery before the head of state dates back to the 18th century, and has remained practically intact in its development to this day. Kareen Rispal is the first female ambassador of France in Spain. Appointed on 13 January by the French Ministry of Europe and Foreign Affairs, she fills the vacancy left more than half a year ago by Jean-Michel Casa following his retirement. Shanil Nepal, who took up his post on 20 January, is Nepal's fourth ambassador to Spain. Nepal opened an embassy in Madrid in April 2018 and has changed its diplomatic representative quite frequently as a result of the political changes in the country. He replaces Sarmila Parajuli, who held the post for two years and left our country last summer. Tadej Rupel has occupied the Embassy of Slovenia since January, replacing Robert Krmelj, after having represented his country in Ireland and the United Kingdom and at the International Maritime Organisation. Regina Appiah-Sam arrives at the Embassy of Ghana in Spain after more than two decades of diplomatic experience and in the Foreign Service of Ghana. François Nkulikiyimfura and Nyamkhuu Ulambayar will serve as ambassadors of Rwanda and Mongolia, respectively, with residence in Paris.
