Charles Lonsdale: UK ambassadors to Armenia will promote bilateral relations
 November 14, 2011 - 14:09 AMT

PanARMENIAN.Net - Arrival of two British ambassadors to Armenia will have exceptionally positive impact on the development of bilateral relations, the current UK Ambassador to Armenia said.

According to Charles Lonsdale, the practice of appointing a married couple to ambassadorial post is accepted in British Foreign Office with an aim not to separate couples due to work.

Mr Jonathan James Aves and Ms Katherine Jane Leach, a husband and wife team, were appointed Her Majesty’s Joint Ambassadors to the Republic of Armenia in succession to Mr Charles John Lonsdale, who will be transferring to another Diplomatic Service appointment.

Some claim that appointment of two ambassadors testifies to unserious approach towards the given country.
