Africa-Press – South-Sudan. <\/strong><\/span>South Sudan has appointed Cecilia Adeng as its new permanent representative to the United Nations, making her the first woman to hold the position since the country\u2019s independence in 2011.<\/p>\n

Adeng presented her credentials to Secretary-General Antonio Guterres on Monday, officially beginning her diplomatic tenure, according to a statement from the South Sudanese Ministry of Foreign Affairs.<\/p>\n

\u201cAmbassador Adeng, an experienced diplomat, brings a wealth of knowledge and a strong commitment to advancing the interests of South Sudan within the United Nations framework,\u201d the statement said.<\/p>\n

The ministry did not specify when Adeng was appointed, but sources revealed that the previous ambassador, Akuei Bona Malual, was replaced following the extension of the UN arms embargo on South Sudan, a decision that reportedly angered the government.<\/p>\n

Prior to this appointment, Adeng\u2019s diplomatic experience remains unclear. However, the statement highlighted her potential contributions.<\/p>\n

\u201cHer appointment as Permanent Representative positions her as a key figure in fostering dialogue, promoting cooperation, and addressing global challenges,\u201d the ministry said.<\/p>\n

\u201cAmbassador Adeng\u2019s tenure is expected to involve active involvement in discussions related to peace and security, development, human rights, and other critical matters that affect South Sudan and the wider world,\u201d it added.<\/p>\n

The statement said that beyond her diplomatic responsibilities, Adeng\u2019s appointment carries symbolic significance as the first female South Sudanese ambassador to the world body.<\/p>\n

\u201cAmbassador Adeng\u2019s appointment as a woman in this esteemed diplomatic role underscores the growing diversity and inclusion within diplomatic circles,\u201d it said.<\/p>\n

\u201cHer presence reflects not only her individual capabilities but also the evolving landscape of diplomatic representation,\u201d it concluded.<\/p>\n
