Article about a diplomat, not properly sourcing a strong claim to passing our notability criteria for diplomats. Wikipedia long ago deprecated the notion that diplomats are "inherently" notable just because they exist, and a diplomat must now be explicitly shown to pass WP:GNG on his sourceability to qualify for an article -- but the only "source" here is a press release from DFAIT (i.e. his own employer) rather than notability-building coverage or analysis of his work, and the article's been flagged for that problem since 2013 without ever having any better sources added.
