I am honoured to have an opportunity to contribute to international efforts to bring stability, security and renewed prosperity for the Libyan people.<\/p>\n<p class=\"last-child\">The presence of extremists and terrorists in Libya and the ongoing fighting means that an early political solution and a Government of National Unity is essential to mobilise all Libyans behind a common agenda.  I hope that, during my tenure, the British Embassy can return to Tripoli and help to tackle the future rebuilding of the country.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>CURRICULUM VITAE<\/p>\n<table>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td>Full name<\/td>\n<td>Peter Joseph Millett CMG<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>2011- 2015<\/td>\n<td>Amman, Her Majesty\u2019s Ambassador<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>2005 &#8211; 2010<\/td>\n<td>Nicosia, British High Commissioner<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>2002 \u2013 2005<\/td>\n<td>FCO, Director, Security<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>2001 \u2013 2002<\/td>\n<td>FCO, Counsellor, Counter Terrorism Policy Department<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>1997 \u2013 2001<\/td>\n<td>Athens, Deputy Head of Mission<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>1996 \u2013 1997<\/td>\n<td>FCO, Head, Allowances Review Team<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>1993 \u2013 1996<\/td>\n<td>FCO, Head, Personnel Policy<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>1989 \u2013 1993<\/td>\n<td>UKRep Brussels, First Secretary (Energy)<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>1988 \u2013 1989<\/td>\n<td>FCO, Desk Officer, United Nations Department<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>1986 -1988<\/td>\n<td>FCO, Assistant Private Secretary to the Foreign Secretary<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>1985 \u2013 1986<\/td>\n<td>FCO, Postings Officer, Personnel Operations Department<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>1981 \u2013 1985<\/td>\n<td>Doha, Second Secretary (Political)<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>1980 \u2013 1981<\/td>\n<td>Full-time Arabic language training<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<h3 id=\"further-information\">Further information<\/h3>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.gov.uk\/government\/world\/libya\">UK and Libya<\/a><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>\n<p>Follow the Foreign Office on Twitter <a rel=\"external\" href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/foreignoffice\">@foreignoffice<\/a><\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p>Follow the Foreign Office on <a rel=\"external\" href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/foreignoffice?ref=hl\">Facebook<\/a> and <a rel=\"external\" href=\"https:\/\/plus.google.com\/b\/105922144104190309938\/+foreignoffice\/posts\">Google+<\/a><\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<div class=\"contact \" id=\"contact_193\">\n<div class=\"content\">\n<h3>Media enquiries<\/h3>\n<div class=\"vcard contact-inner\">\n<div class=\"email-url-number\">\n<p class=\"email\">\n              <span class=\"type\">Email<\/span><br \/>\n              <a class=\"email\" href=\"mailto:newsdesk@fco.gov.uk\">newsdesk@fco.gov.uk<\/a>\n            <\/p>\n<p class=\"tel\">\n              <span class=\"type\">News Desk <\/span><br \/>\n              020 7008 3100\n            <\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Peter Millett has been appointed Her Majesty&#8217;s Ambassador to Libya.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":8,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[13],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/mostafa.openonline.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/56311"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/mostafa.openonline.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/mostafa.openonline.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mostafa.openonline.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/8"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mostafa.openonline.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=56311"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/mostafa.openonline.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/56311\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/mostafa.openonline.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=56311"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mostafa.openonline.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=56311"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mostafa.openonline.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=56311"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
