Australian-Armenian Joe Hockey to be appointed Australian ambassador to the US in January

Minister of Foreign Affairs of Australia Julie Bishop has confirmed Australian-Armenian Joe Hockey’s nomination for Australia’s ambassador to the US, reports ABC, according to Hayern Aysor.

Let us remind that Joe Hockey had held the post of Minister of Finance of Australia for two years until September 2015. The Australian-Armenian minister is known in Australian politics for his vast knowledge of economics and active ties with the U.S.

As Hayern Aysor had informed earlier, on December 4, Joe Hocky was awarded with the Gold Medal of the RA Ministry of Diaspora during the annual banquet of the Armenian National Committee of Australia at Miramar Banquet Hall in Sydney.

Joe Hockey’s father is Richard Hokeidonian, and his mother is an Australian.
