Germany’s ambassador to Vietnam has been tapped to head the country’s embassy in Thailand.

Rolf Peter Gottfried Schulze, 58, succeeds Hanns Schumacher, who had been Germany’s ambassador to Thailand since 2008.

A member of Germany’s diplomatic service since 1980, Schulze has worked in embassies in Trinidad & Tobago, Japan, Spain, China and Vietnam, where his term expired in July.

Schulze is still on travel, but is expected to take up his duties in the capital soon.
