United States ambassador Scot Marciel is in Myanmar, replacing the rather tall Derek Mitchell.
The embassy said in a statement that he arrived today (Friday). If that’s true they are not wasting any time. The Facebook page for the embassy has already put up this video, which includes Marciel busting out some Burmese.
Welcome Scot! Please note that we spelled your name correctly and will attempt to do so for the duration of your term.
Marciel is a longtime foreign service member and has served as ambassador to Indonesia and in other functions throughout many countries in Asia.
