Senior bureaucrat appointed China ambassador
The Harper government has appointed one of the public service's most senior bureaucrats as Canada's ambassador to China, a move that signals the government's desire to improve relations with the emerging Asian superpower. David Mulroney, currently deputy minister of the government's Afghanistan Task Force, will become Canada's new top diplomat in Beijing, the Prime Minister's Office announced Wednesday. He replaces Robert Wright, the current ambassador.
The incoming ambassador to China is not related to former prime minister Brian Mulroney.
