Paul Neville is the first Charge d'Affaires at the United States Embassy in Tonga.

He made a courtesy call on the Prime Minister Hon. Hu'akavameiliku in Nuku'alofa on 7 June. 

Mr. Neville was a U.S Peace Corps volunteer from 2000-2002, where he served at Kolovai on western Tongatapu.

On 20 May, in Nuku'alofa, a ceremonial flag raising was held to open the first United States of America Embassy in Tonga, held at the National Reserve Bank Building.

A large scale opening is being scheduled for later in the year. 

The embassy opening comes less than one year after Vice President Harris announced [2] that the United States would pursue discussions to establish an embassy in Tonga, and it is the beginning of a new chapter of U.S-Tonga relations.
