The United States Embassy in Juba, South Sudan, was first established on 9 July 2011[1] as the United States diplomatic mission to the country of South Sudan. Upon the independence of South Sudan, the old United States Consulate General Juba, originally opened in 2005[2] was upgraded into a full embassy, in recognition of the independence of South Sudan. The chief of mission was Chargé d'Affaires R. Barrie Walkley, pending the appointment of an ambassador to South Sudan.[3]
On 18 October 2011 Susan D. Page was confirmed as the first United States' Ambassador to South Sudan.[4]
