UNPO expresses delight at appointment of UNPO representative Maxim Gunjia as new Abkhazian Minister for Foreign Affairs
The Unrepresented Nations and Peoples Organization
(UNPO) is delighted to hear of the appointment of Mr. Maxim Gunjia as
Minister for Foreign Affairs of Abkhazia today, February 26 2010. Gunjia
has been Abkhazia’s representative to UNPO since 2005, building on 14
years of collaboration. During his term, both parties continued to
foment a collaborative relationship of respect and understanding. We
believe the appointment will go some way to recognizing the diplomatic
achievements of Gunjia since 2004, whereby he became deputy foreign
minister. UNPO equally congratulates Gunjia’s predecessor, Mr. Sergei
Shamba who has now been appointed Abkhazia’s prime minister. The
UNPO reaffirms its support to Abkhazia’s people and their right to
self-determination and international recognition. UNPO issued a riposte
today to an article written by Mr. Graeme Wood whose analysis of "limbo
states” seemed somewhat shallow in light of the strength of democracy
in many de facto states. Note:
