The others received were Ambassadors Lilia Eugenia Rossbach Suárez (Mexico), Amador Sánchez Rico (European Union), Reid Douglas Sirrs (Canada), Carlos Fernando Enciso Christiansen (Uruguay), Jorge Ramiro Tapia Sainz (Bolivia), Hussein Al-Hassiri (Saudi Arabia), Karl Dhaene (Belgium), Fabrizio Lucentini (Italy), Andreas Melan (Austria), Xavier Monge Yoder (Ecuador), Sami Salameh (Syria), Dan Petre (Romania), Edit Bucsi-Szabo (Hungary), Philip K.
