The King receives the Credentials of the ambassadors of Ghana, Slovenia, France, Nepal, Rwanda and Mongolia

The Diplomat King Felipe VI received this Monday at the Royal Palace in Madrid the Credentials of the new ambassadors of Ghana, Slovenia, France, Nepal, Rwanda and Mongolia. According to the Royal House, the King received, in the traditional ceremony 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 to hand over the ambassador to the head of state dates back to the 18th century and has remained virtually unchanged to this day. Kareen Rispal is the first female ambassador of France to 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 the post on 20 January, is the fourth ambassador to Spain from Nepal, which 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.
