The new British Ambassador to Turkey, Jill Morris CMG, has officially begun her tour in Turkey. Morris has taken over from Sir Dominick Chilcott, who served as the UK Ambassador to Turkey from 2016 to 2019.
As a seasoned diplomat with over 30 years of experience, Morris has held several important posts within the UK government. Before her appointment as the UK Ambassador to Turkey, she served as the Director of Security at the Foreign and Commonwealth Office.
In her new role as the UK Ambassador to Turkey, Morris will work to strengthen the relationship between the UK and Turkey, which is a crucial ally for the UK in the region. The two countries have a long-standing history of cooperation in areas such as defense, trade, and culture.
In her statement, Morris highlighted the importance of the UK-Turkey partnership and expressed her enthusiasm to work with Turkish authorities and communities to deepen the ties between the two countries.

Morris is expected to focus on a range of issues during her tenure, including the promotion of UK businesses and investments in Turkey, enhancing cultural and educational links, and addressing common security challenges in the region.
The UK government has emphasized the strategic importance of Turkey as a key partner for the UK, particularly as the UK prepares to leave the European Union. Morris’s appointment signals the UK’s continued commitment to strengthening ties with Turkey and maintaining a strong presence in the region.
As Morris begins her tour, she will no doubt face a range of challenges and opportunities. However, her wealth of experience and diplomatic skills make her well-suited for this important role, and her efforts are sure to further strengthen the already strong partnership between the UK and Turkey.
