Singapore has appointed venture capital executive Chua Kee Lock as its next non resident ambassador to Morocco, filling a post that had been vacant since mid 2023, in a move that refreshes a low profile but strategic diplomatic channel with North Africa.
Singapore’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs said on Jan. 6, 2026 that Chua, who is already Singapore’s non resident ambassador to Panama, would take on the Morocco role.
The appointment follows the resignation of businessman George Goh, who stepped down from the Morocco envoy post on June 9, 2023 as he prepared a bid for Singapore’s presidency, according to local media reports at the time.
Singapore has diplomatic relations with the Maghreb and accredits non resident ambassadors to countries in the region, but its own foreign policy page had noted the Morocco position was vacant.
