For the first time in history, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs announced competitions for the positions of ambassadors, anyone can apply.
There is a personnel shortage in the Ministry and the pace of “diplomatic expansion” is growing, including in Africa. Therefore, more than two dozen countries without ambassadors, said Minister Dmitry Kuleba.
The website of the Ministry already has a corresponding page (https://mfa.gov.ua/vacancies). The HR department of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs will contact the best candidates. A special focus is now in African countries. Filing in these countries automatically increases your chances. In addition, subject to the same professional indicators, preference is given to women.
It is especially difficult with the search for candidates for the positions of ambassadors. Looking for them in the diplomatic system. Looking for a business environment. Looking for scientists. But the pace of our diplomatic expansion is also growing, particularly in Africa. Therefore, more than two dozen countries are still without Ambassadors. The only way to speed up these processes is to make non-standard decisions. I am convinced that there are strong and professional people in Ukraine. The only problem is that either a) we have not found them yet, or b) they themselves have not yet learned about the opportunity to take on the super-difficult, but very necessary job of the Ambassador of Ukraine,” Kuleba wrote on his Facebook page.
Ambassador vacancies were opened in 21 countries of Europe, Latin America, Africa, the Middle East, the South Caucasus and Southeast Asia.
