The Kingdom of Norway has appointed Mr. Damian Whitchurch-Aird as its new Honorary Consul of Norway.
Mr.Whitchurch- Aird is an avid businessman and the Director of Logistics at H.H.V Whitchurch & Co. Ltd. He has also served as the Honorary Consul for Sweden for approximately seven years now, having taken up the appointment following his father’s retirement from that role.
At his inauguration ceremony on Wednesday 29th January, 2020 Aird stated, “There are strong and enduring bonds between the Kingdom of Norway and Dominica. Although Norway may seem far away, it is extremely important that European countries, especially those as conscious of the environment and development as Norway, continue to express and expand interest in small island states such as ours. I look forward to assisting people, making introductions, fostering connections, and assist in the facilitation of programs that educate and help Dominica in our own battle with Climate Change.”
As an Honorary Consul, Mr. Whitchurch-Aird will assist Norwegian citizens in case of a consular emergency, for example, in the eventuality of a lost passport or involvement in an accident and hospitalization, or in the of a death or a missing person or other calamities. Each case will be individually assessed in consultation with the Ambassador to Norway.
Does this mean we will have an influx of Norwegian visitors and settlers to Dominica? I am hoping there are no European visitors for the foreseeable future with the pandemic about us.
Congratulations Damian.
I am sure you will do an excellent job.
Fabulous and please tell us on behalf of Whitchurch whether dominicans should be worried about there not being enough food coming in due to coronavirus.. nobody else is telling us.. is the food supply process going to get broken? Have you got more orders coming in or…?
…and another member of the cabal is getting a job. Money for nothing!
congrats my boy.
Well well well! Who appointed him, was it Norway or Skerritt? DNO please check that out. Is the post one that is handed down from generation to generation? I just read that he succeeded his father as the
ambassador to Sweden when his father retired. Pleass tell me is that how it works with Dominican diplomats other than selling passports to some? What about economic cooperation? Isn’t that his responsibility to work on? According to him he will solely be responsible for helping Norwegian on the ground. Is that why we are gonna be paying him so handsomely for? What will we be benefiting from? If that’s all he will be doing we already have the police and social services. No need for him.
