1 Ms Sylvia Lim asked the Minister for Foreign Affairs if he can provide a list of the persons appointed by the Government as Non-Resident Ambassadors from 2011 to 2016.

Dr Vivian Balakrishnan: There are 45 Non-Resident Ambassadors (NRAs) appointed between 2011 and 2016 who are still holding their appointments as of date. They are accredited to 48 countries and four International Organisations (UNESCO, Pacific Islands Forum, CARICOM and African Union). The names of these NRAs are published on the MFA website (https://www.mfa.gov.sg/content/mfa/missions/singapore_mission/mission_locator.html) which Ms Sylvia Lim could refer to for more details.
