Britain's MI6 announces Richard Moore, former ambassador to Turkey, as its new boss
A photo taken of the new MI6 spy chief, Richard Moore, during his tenure as British Ambassador to Turkey.
A British government statement confirmed on Tuesday that Moore will succeed Sir Alex Younger, who has been chief of the spy agency for the past six years. He most recently served as Director-General, Political in the Foreign and Commonwealth Office, a post which he has held since 2018 after serving as British Ambassador to Turkey from January 2014 to December 2017.His biggest challenge is likely to be China, which the US has identified as its major geopolitical foe, though he will also have to fight for funding after British politicians splurged on the coronavirus crisis.
The 57-year-old had joined MI6 in 1987, four years before the collapse of the Soviet Union and most recently had a short stint as Deputy National Security Advisor in 2018.
