St Vincent and the Grenadines has named a new permanent representative to the United Nations.

Prime Minister Dr Ralph Gonsalves announced that Inga Rhonda King would be succeeding his son, Camillo Gonsalves, as the country’s top diplomat in New York.

Camillo Gonsalves, who had served in the post for five years, ended his tour of duty about a month ago.

In a statement, the Prime Minister “expressed thanks to Camillo for his years of service.”
