List of ambassadors of the United Kingdom to Haiti
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The ambassador of the United Kingdom to Haiti is the United Kingdom's foremost diplomatic representative to the Republic of Haiti.[1]
From 1913 to 1922, the head of mission in Cuba also served Haiti. The British Embassy in Port-au-Prince was closed in 1966 "for reasons of economy" and the high commissioner to Jamaica in Kingston was appointed non-resident ambassador to Haiti.[2] Responsibility for Haiti was transferred to the ambassador to the Dominican Republic in 1999.[1] In June 2012 the British Foreign Secretary announced that the UK was to open a new embassy in Haiti.[3] The new embassy was opened in June 2013,[4] but until 2015 the ambassador to the Dominican Republic remained ambassador to Haiti, with a deputy head of mission in Port-au-Prince. In 2015 a new, dedicated ambassador was appointed to Haiti, but still non-resident (she was married to the ambassador to the Dominican Republic and resided in Santo Domingo).[5] From 2019 until 2024, Mockbul Ali OBE served as both Ambassador to the Dominican Republic and non-resident Ambassador to Haiti.[6]
