What makes a person well-qualified to be an ambassador?

Certain countries like Fiji are often used as dumping grounds for unqualified donors getting an ambassadorship to pad their resumes. These countries are not happy about this.

Actually, the ambassador to Fiji was kind enough to respond directly to a discussion we had here six years ago:

What does the US ambassador to Fiji do all day?

From the ambassador, passed through one of her staff: I appreciate that she responded.
