Enter Ambassador Alexis
posted (July 30, 2014)

And while those were the positive initiatives unveiled at today's event the headline maker should have been the unveiling of the new ambassador to Guatemala, Alexis Rosado except we kind of beat the Prime Minister to that punch about a week ago.

Today, though, the Prime Minister unveiled Rosado's replacement as Foreign Affairs CEO

Hon. Dean Barrow, Prime Minister of Belize

"Alexis, as you know is extremely experienced in diplomacy and he has been high commissioner in the U.K for number of years. Held various other posts in the Foreign Service; is very well qualified, not just in terms of academic qualifications but in terms of the sort of personal traits that are going to be required in particular for this assignment. I am satisfied that Alexis is far and away the best person that we would ask to take over in Guatemala City. I will ask C.E.O Lawrence Sylvester who is currently as housing to move over to Foreign Affairs. Lawrence again as you no doubt well know was at foreign affairs previously, was also high commissioner to the U.K; He was well permanent P.R in New York, so again somebody who knows the foreign ministry inside out and the position he leaves as C.E.O, Ministry of Housing has to be filled and I will appoint Mr. Denton Belisle to be the new C.E.O in the Ministry of Housing."

Belisle is the former General Manager of Social Security Board under a previous UDP Administration.
