still HC to UK?[edit]

Can anyone confirm whether or not he is still the High Commissioner to the UK?

The London Diplomatic List (from July 2013) still shows him as the HC. However, the UK gov't website also has an Excel spreadsheet (which is not dated) that has Acting High Commissioner "Mr Sione Sonata Tupou" effective December 13/2012.

Also, his LinkedIn page has his High Commissioner position listed in "Past" positions.

I'm not sure if either of those sources is valid...?

And there is this from the Tonga Ports Authority saying that he was appointed to their Board of Directors in January 2013 (which is also confirmed on his LinkedIn page). But I suppose there's no reason he couldn't be on their Board and also still be the HC. Dracunculus (talk) 17:57, 7 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
