Tom Fletcher to Replace Guy as British Ambassador

W300

Tom Fletcher is expected to replace Frances Mary Guy as British Ambassador to Lebanon next month after the Lebanese government approved his nomination.

After the announcement of his appointment as Ambassador to Beirut, Fletcher said: "I am thrilled to be coming to Lebanon at such a pivotal period, and will do all I can to support our shared objectives of political and economic stability and protection of democratic and human rights."

Welcoming Fletcher's appointment at an event in Downing Street, British Prime Minister David Cameron said: "I am determined to further enhance our relationship with Lebanon and the wider Middle East, and Tom's appointment reflects that.

“I am sure he will bring the same energy and expertise to the role that he brought to his time in Downing Street,” he added.

Fletcher served as the Prime Minister's Foreign Policy Adviser and Principal Private Secretary for Foreign Affairs in Downing Street from 2007-2011, working with three Prime Ministers. In this period, he was also the Prime Minister's principal No 10 adviser on Northern Ireland.

He will leave soon, when Lebanon starts to be isolated by the world for not cooperating with the international tribunal.

Lebanese think that it is so easy to stand against the world, they forget that we are simply 10452 km and a tiny small nation without anything valuable, not even tourism! If we fight the UN and the international justice, we are doomed to become like North Korea!

P.s Le Pheniciean you mean made in Iran now 100%
