German Ambassador Honored by President Saleh [Archives:1999/04/Front Page]
January 25 1999

The first female ambassador to serve in Yemen, Ms. Strachwitz has done a lot to elevate Yemeni-German relations to an all time high during her more than 4 years of tenure in Sanaa. She was able to pursuade her government to stay the course of friendship with Yemen in spite of 8 cases of kidnapping or German nationals, 2 court cases between German and Yemeni firms, and other ordeals.
She goes back to serve as director of the African Department in the Foreign Office.
