Carlos Moreno, the new US Ambassador to Belize arrived in the country on Saturday morning at 6:15 AM. He flew in from California via Delta Airlines, and arrived with his wife, Christine. Moreno was greeted on the tarmac by Embassy staff who were waiting for him. Waiting for about a year actually - that's when Moreno was first nominated to the post - but it took 10 months for the US Senate to approve him.
But, he's here now and preparing to present his credentials tomorrow. Moreno told LOVE TV on arrival what he intends to do in his time here:...
Carlos Moreno, US Ambassador - Designate to Belize
"The Government of the United States and the Government of Belize have an outstanding, longstanding relationship. I look forward to improving that relationship in so many ways."
Moreno brought his two cats with him.
The Yale and Stanford graduate served on the California Supreme Court and was rumored to have been considered for the US Supreme Court. He is of Mexican parentage and Spanish was his first language.
