Upcoming Departure of Ambassador Kevin K. Sullivan from Nicaragua
Ambassador Sullivan will return to Washington on May 19, 2023, after completing his four and a half years leading U.S. Embassy Managua.
Given the importance and complexity of our diplomatic mission in Nicaragua, the Secretary has named career diplomat Kevin O’Reilly as our long-term Chargé d’affaires. Mr. O’Reilly will join U.S. Embassy Managua in June, working closely with Deputy Chief of Mission Carla Fleharty to manage our bilateral relationship with Nicaragua and continue our engagement with the Nicaraguan people. Mr. O’Reilly is a member of the Senior Foreign Service and a seasoned expert in U.S.-Latin American affairs.
The United States remains committed to supporting the Nicaraguan people’s legitimate aspirations for a return to genuine democratic rule and full respect for human rights.
