The Ministry of Foreign Affairs wishes to advise that, in a virtual meeting held today, 29th March, 2021, the Minister of Foreign Affairs, the Hon. Darren A. Henfield MP, received the Copie d’Usage of Austria Ambassador-designate to The Bahamas, H. E. Martin Weiss.

In a brief meeting held after the Minister received the Copie d’Usage, both parties acknowledged the wellestablished friendship and cordial relations between the two countries. Matters of mutual interest were also discussed, including bilateral support for candidatures, climate change, migration policies and the effects of the Covid-19 pandemic and adapting to new implications in the tourism industry.

Both parties committed to continue the deepening of relations all the while awaiting the return of face-to-face encounters.

While the presentation of the Copie d’Usage will allow the Ambassador-designate to undertake activities at the functional level, he will present his Letters of Credence formally to the Governor-General at a later date.
