THE GOVERNMENT through the Ministry of Foreign Affairs is expected to announce the two diplomats to head the mission in Taiwan and the United Nations in New York, United States next month.
This came after the Ministry had received the agreement from Taiwan to allow its diplomat to take up the post there.
While for New York, the Ministry will appoint a diplomat to replace Collin Beck, who had spent 12 years there and decided to return home.
Acting permanent secretary of Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Joseph Maahanua confirmed that appointments for the two Head of Missions are progressing.
Mr Maahanua said they will announce the names of the two diplomats when all the formalities are completed.
He said appointments for the other two Heads of Missions in Canberra (Australia) and Geneva (Switzerland) will be done later.
The Solomon Star understands the agreement the ministry received from Taiwan is in compliance with the Article 4 of the Vienna Convention on Diplomatic Relations (1961).
