The nomination has been forwarded to the Parliament’s Foreign Relations Committee for review. Jameela will be appointed to the post if the committee endorses the nomination and Parliament subsequently approves it in a floor vote.

The position became vacant after former High Commissioner Iruthisham Adam was appointed Minister of Foreign Affairs by President Muizzu.
