MOSCOW: Russian President Vladimir Putin has started the ceremony of accepting diplomatic credentials from 17 new foreign ambassadors at the Alexander Hall of the Grand Kremlin Palace.
Some of the ambassadors represent the countries and territories that are unfriendly to Russia. It’s for example, US Ambassador Lynne Tracy. She was approved for this post in December 2022 and became the first woman to head the US diplomatic mission in Russia.
The ceremony is also attended by diplomats Jacob Henningsen of Denmark and Robert Kvile of Norway and Roland Galharague of the EU.
The ambassadors of Abkhazia, Brunei, the Republic of Guinea, Honduras, Zimbabwe, Iraq, Cambodia, Mexico, Oman, Paraguay, North Macedonia, Syria and Equatorial Guinea will also be in attendance. Putin will also accept credentials from the diplomats of three Arab countries - Iraq, Oman and Syria - and the ambassador of Abkhazia.
Putin is expected to deliver an extensive speech on foreign policy at the start of the event.
