The Ministry of Foreign Affairs is pleased to announce the appointment by the Prime Minister Rt. Hon Perry Christie of Tony Joudi as Non- Resident Ambassador of The Bahamas to the United Arab Emirates (UAE). This follows closely on the heels of Amb. Joudi’s appointment last month as The Bahamas’s Non-Resident of Qatar.
Mr. Joudi, who is a Civil Engineer, has also been designated by the Government of The Bahamas as Commissioner General of The Bahamas’ Pavilion for Expo 2020, which will take place in Dubai, United Arab Emirates. The appointments take place with immediate effect. Mr. Joudi is contributing his services to the country.
Mr. Joudi is married to the former Joan Michelle Cates of Rock Sound, Eleuthera. He has a son Tony F. Joudi and a daughter Cassidy D. Joudi. He is a native Arabic speaker in addition to English. Ambassador-designate Joudi will present his credentials in UAE shortly at a date to be determined by the Governments of UAE and The Bahamas.
With his appointment as Ambassador to the UAE, it is expected that Amb. Joudi will greatly facilitate The Bahamas’ outreach to the Middle East region.
