Minister of External Affairs /u/BHjr132 announced today the appointment of /u/toastinrussian as New Zealand’s next High Commissioner to the United Kingdom.

> There are few people as qualified for this position as Mr. Russian. He has previously served as Minister of Foreign Affairs and Trade, and his recent work in the Executive Council shows very clearly he still has the same energy in him as back then.
>
> The United Kingdom is a very important, longstanding ally to us, and I am sure they will very much appreciate a High Commissioner as hard-working and dedicated as Mr. Russian. 
>
> Mr. Russian will continue the excellent work of his predecessor, and I am certain they will bring our two countries even closer together.
