Embassy of Lebanon’s Counselor Marwan Francis won DIPLOMAT Magazine’s Award for Deputy Head of Mission of the Year.

In its sixteenth year, the awards ceremony recognises the outstanding work and achievements of London’s diplomatic community who are trying to better their nations’ well-being. DIPLOMAT magazine identified 10 categories that recognise different levels of diplomacy, and winners were nominated by their peers. The evening welcomed the massed ranks of London’s diplomatic corps, at what has become a key date in the capital’s diplomatic calendar.

BBC News Diplomatic Correspondent, James Landale, was the Master of Ceremonies.

High-profile winners on the night included the Ambassadors of Ireland, Argentina, Palestine, Cuba, Bosnia and Herzegovina as well as the High Commissioners for Zambia and the Maldives—the latter having recently been appointed as her country’s Foreign Minister. The award for Young Diplomat of the Year went to Bahrain.

On April 28, 2026, the Conservative Middle East Council (CMEC) hosted the ambassadors of Lebanon, Egypt and Jordan for a briefing focused on the regional security situation and the diplomatic efforts to end the war.

The meeting was chaired by Kit Malthouse MP and attended by members of parliament and staffers.
