Her leadership is certain to advance relations between Americans and residents of the Cape provinces,” commented US Embassy Chargé d’Affaires Jessica Lapenn.
Prior to her arrival in Cape Town, Blaser served over a decade as a three-time deputy chief of mission and Chargé d’Affaires in Mauritius, the Seychelles, Uganda and Tanzania.
