HMA Tom Fletcher is touring the country and promoting Lebanon as a touristic destination on his final days as the British Ambassador. Fletcher had lemonade in Batroun, then walked all the way from Batroun to Jbeil where he visited the souks and met the locals. On the second day, he went to Harissa and wore the traditional Lebanese costume during a dinner ceremony held in his honor. Later on, he visited the Jounieh souks, walked all the way to Nahr el Kalb where he visited the different monuments, passed by Beirut’s port to show support to the Lebanese economy before reaching his final destination at Martyrs Square in Beirut.
HMA Tom Fletcher may no longer be an ambassador to Lebanon but he’s from now an ambassador for Lebanon and he’s a perfect fit for the job. We thank you for showing the true image of Lebanon and being the best diplomat Lebanon has had in years!

Every good person is leaving
Tom Fletcher leaving is driven by Embassy protocols. Sadly, his term with us is finished,he will move on to another post , whilst he has finished his tour of duty his mission here is not complete he will be a tough act to follow , i wish he could remain for another tour of duty during his tenure here he has made a huge personal contribution ,he has represented the United Kingdom above and beyond the call of duty ,he represents a new breed of Ambassador , we trust his successor will be able to pick up where he has left off,
Not True Lea, there is an ebb and flow of both foreign and Indigenous people moving in and out of this
enigma of a country ,making it what it is today , they bring changes , with each move , sadly too many are leaving for the wrong reasons , this tide will change , A Tom Fletcher indicates , he will become an ambassador FOR Lebanon after his departure ,many who leave will also
