In a statement extended to Nyamilepedia, the South Sudan Embassy to UK welcomes and send its congratulations to newly appointed minister and expresses heartfelt appreciation to President Kiir for entrusting Deng as foreign minister.
The embassy says in the statement, it looks forward to working with the new minister and will honor and support his diplomatic leadership.
“Therefore, we cordially welcome Hon. Deng and look forward to working under his guidance and providing our support”, the Embassy statement reads by part.
“The Embassy of the Republic of South Sudan to the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, takes this opportunity to warmly congratulate Hon. Mayiik Ayii Deng, MP for his appointment as the Minister of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation (MFA&IC) on 9th September 2021”,the statement says.
According to the statement, the Embassy further appreciates Hon. Amb. Beatirce Khamis Wani Noah for the efforts rendered and wishes her all the best in her endeavors.
The appointment of Mayik Ayik Deng shocked the nation last week with a lot of criticisms given his alleged records on mismanagement of public fund, however; the Presidential Press Secretary, Ateny Wek Ateny defended his appointment last week saying his removal from Ministry last year was based on hearsay which president Kiir realized later to be untrue that’s why he had to be re-appointed.
