Világgazdaság reported that the Foreign Ministry of the UK already announced in a press conference that, after four years, he is leaving office. His successor, Paul Fox, will be the new British ambassador of Hungary from September 2020.

Fox worked in Moscow as an ambassador-counselor but gained experience in Dubai, Warsaw, and former Yugoslavia.
