Kuwait City: The first female American ambassador to the nation presented her credentials on Sunday.

Deborah K. Jones assumes her post only days before US Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice arrives here to attend a meeting on Iraq and ahead of parliamentary elections slated for May 17.

The US embassy said in a statement that career diplomat Jones, who is not the first female US ambassador to be posted in an Arab nation, presented her diplomatic credentials at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
