why is it important

  • About five years ago, the procedures of the Civil Service Commission were changed, so that ministers can also appoint a deputy director general as a political appointee. This is the first time that a foreign minister uses this option and appoints to the position of deputy director general a political appointee rather than a professional diplomat.
