Viktor Richter’s Biography
Renowned German diplomat Viktor Richter was born in 1958 in Germany. As the German ambassador to Armenia since 2021, he has been in charge of representing Germany and fostering diplomatic ties between Armenia and Germany.
After graduating from college in 1985 with a degree in political science and international relations, Richter started his career in diplomacy.
He first enlisted in the German Democratic Republic’s (GDR) diplomatic service, serving in the Ministry of Diplomatic Affairs’ (MFA) division for Central Africa. He worked at the GDR embassy in the People’s Republic of Congo as an attachรฉ for press, cultural, and consular matters in the late 1980s.
Richter briefly left the diplomatic field after Germany’s reunification to obtain experience in the private sector. From 1991 to 1992, he worked at Bret SA, a French company located in Verneuil-sur-Avre. But his love of diplomacy drew him back, and he joined the Federal Republic of Germany’s foreign service in 1993.
Richter had several important jobs during his career. He was employed by the Foreign Office in Bonn as a consultant for cultural ties with Asia and thereafter by the Malaysian embassy as a consultant for press, culture, law, and consular matters.
In addition to working as a consultant for the South Caucasus in the Political Department of the Embassy in Russia, he was the First Secretary of the Political Department of the Foreign Office in Berlin.
Richter’s experience in diplomacy brought him to the position of head of the Foreign Office’s working unit on relations between the EU and the Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS). Additionally, he worked at the embassy in Russia, where he led the press department among other roles.
Richter was appointed the Federal Republic of Germany’s Ambassador to Eritrea in 2012. He served in that capacity with success until 2014, when he took up the position of General Consul in Novosibirsk.
During his time serving as ambassador, he successfully navigated diplomatic obstacles and developed productive connections. Later, he became the head of the political department at the embassy in Moscow.
Richter was one of the diplomats who Russia expelled in February 2021 as a result of diplomatic issues between the EU and Russia. He continued to be committed to his diplomatic career in spite of this setback, and in the middle of 2021 he became the German ambassador to Armenia.
Viktor Richter continues to be crucial in fostering better bilateral ties between Germany and Armenia, as well as mutual understanding and cooperation between the two countries, thanks to his extensive expertise and commitment to diplomacy.
