AMBASSADORGARYDOER
Canada
Tell us something people don’t
know about you and would be
surprised to hear. People think
that all Canadians love hockey and
hockey only, but I love NFL football
and have followed it for years. I am
a huge Minnesota Vikings fan.
What is your favorite region
in your home country? I love
Churchill. I love kayaking with the
beluga whales in July and seeing
the magnificent polar bears in
October.
What was the best advice given to
you as an incoming ambassador?
Make sure you don’t get
consumed with the great social
invitations that you receive in this
world-class city and keep focused
on the economic and security
priorities of your country.

AMBASSADORMAGUYMACCARIODOYLE
Monaco
Tell us something people don’t know
about you and would be surprised to
hear. I am a passionate oenophile
and proud that I’m one of only two
women admitted as “Chevalier de
la Commanderie de Bordeaux” in
their prestigious New York chapter.
Also, I started my career at age 18
at Monaco’s Tourism Board, among
other things greeting guests at the
Monaco F1 Grand Prix. A week after
passing my driving test and receiving
my license, I was asked to drive the
legendary racer Sir Jackie Stewart and his wife to the airport. I was so
nervous, but he said I drove very well.
What do you like to do in your free time? I love playing tennis and have
recently taken up golf – I (luckily) scored a hole-in-one on my very first
tee-off during coaching classes!
Do you have a favorite restaurant in Washington? I love Nora’s Restaurant.
Chef Nora Pouillon is a true pioneer in the organic food movement and
a wonderful, inspiring lady.
AMBASSADORRACHADBOUHLAL
Morocco
What would you like to accomplish
in your time in Washington?
Morocco was the first country
to recognize the independence
of the United States. I would
like my efforts in promoting our
bilateral relations to help carry
on the legendary promise that
was drafted in our Treaty of
Peace and Friendship negotiated
by
Thomas Jefferson, John
Adams and King Muhammad III in
1786.
What do you like to do in your
free time? What are your hobbies?
I love to play golf, and by the way, a
little known fact is that Morocco has
some of the greatest golf courses.
What is your favorite book? “World
Order” by Henry Kissinger.
