The Fijian Government has identified Ms Nazhat Shameem to be its first Permanent Representative to the United Nations Office in Geneva.
Ms Shameem’s wide experience in the civil service, her extensive legal background and expertise makes her a suitable candidate for the type of work and advocacy required of Fiji’s representative in Geneva.
The Ambassador-designate is preparing to depart for her posting to Geneva, Switzerland later this month.
Fiji’s Mission in Geneva is expected to be opened officially in June.
