The central government has appointed Shen Beili as the new commissioner of the Foreign Ministry in Macau, replacing Ye Dabo, Xinhua reported yesterday.
According to previous media reports, Shen, 55, held the post of minister at the Chinese embassy in London from 2014 to 2016. A minister is a diplomat directly ranked below ambassador. Her most recent post was assistant minister of the International Department of Communist Party of China (CPC) Central Committee, according to the website of the department.
Meanwhile, the Foreign Ministry Commission in Macau announced in a statement on its website that Ye and his wife, Counsellor Qiu Weiwei, returned to Beijing yesterday. The statement said that Ye and Qiu paid farewell calls on Chief Executive Fernando Chui Sai On, National Committee of the Chinese People’s Political Consultative Conference (CPPCC) Edmund Ho Hau Wah and other senior local officials and community leaders before their departure. Ye said in local Chinese-language interviews published earlier this month that he and his wife had enjoyed their posting to Macau where they had been since 2015.
