Ambassador to Belize, Obama To Visit
Belmopan, Belize: The United States is to
appoint an ambassador to Belize. This was
disclosed to the media by Belize Prime
Minister Dean Barrow, who said that US
President Barack Obama told him that he is
likely to announce his nomination in the
next six weeks.
Barrow said that he sat at the same table
with President Obama at Saturday night's
dinner at the Fifth Summit of the Americas
in Port of Spain, Trinidad, when he had
informal discussions with the US president.
He said that Obama explained that the
appointment of the ambassador will have to
go through the Congressional confirmation
process before he or she could be posted.
The President also indicated to Barrow that
he would like to visit Belize and that the
ambassador will work out the logistics of
his proposed visit.
During the opening ceremonies held at the
Summit, Obama said he wanted to start a new
beginning for US relations with the other
countries of the hemisphere.
