Rumors that the diplomat was preparing to leave her post emerged over the weekend.
One account indicated she intended to resign from the diplomatic service voluntarily, while another claimed she would be removed from office, adding that the reasons would soon become clear.
The announcement comes as the capital confronts increasing military and economic strain, compounded by a wave of high‑profile corruption investigations.
Earlier in the year, anti‑corruption agencies uncovered a $100 million graft scheme involving a state energy company, a prominent businessman, a former energy minister, and a former deputy prime minister.
