Obama welcomes new ambassadors to Burma, South Sudan Jul 30th 2012, 11:35 A dozen new foreign ambassadors are scheduled to present their credentials to President  Obama at the White House on Monday.  The list includes the ambassador for the world's newest nation, South Sudan. South Sudan declared independence last year after decades of civil war with the mainly Arab north. Relations between the two nations remain strained by a territorial dispute over the oil-rich border region.  Also on the list is Burma's ambassador.
