Six new Heads of Missions are undergoing a one-week orientation at the Foreign Service Institute, after which they will be deployed to their various posts overseas and were challenged by Foreign Minister Carl Greenidge to be strategic thinkers.

According to a GINA press release, the Foreign Affairs Minister noted the timeliness of the orientation since this will be the first time several of the appointees will be serving in the diplomatic corps.
