Nathaniel Copsey has been appointed His Majesty’s Ambassador to Bulgaria in succession to Dr Rob Dixon, ambassador since September 2020, and who will be transferring to another diplomatic service appointment.

Mr Copsey will take up his appointment during August 2024.

Previously, Copsey worked in the UK Foreign Secretary's Office as Chief Speechwriter, covering the full range of UK foreign policy issues. Most of his career has focused on Europe, particularly the European Union and Eastern Europe.

In 2015, he was at the Foreign and Commonwealth Office’s Referendum Unit, and in 2016, at the Cabinet Office’s Referendum Unit.

In 2022, he was Silver Crisis Lead (Political) for the Russia/Ukraine Crisis, Eastern Europe and Central Asia Directorate/Crisis Management Department, and the same year, head of the Europe Strategy and Expertise Department, Europe Group at the FCDO.

Prior to joining the Diplomatic Service, Nathaniel Copsey was an academic, subsequently Professor of Politics.

He speaks Bulgarian and will be joined in Sofia by his family.

I am honoured and delighted to be moving to Bulgaria as the British Ambassador. Never before has our partnership been as important as it is today. From education to defence, technology to trade, we are working more closely together than ever before – as Lord Cameron’s visit last month shows. My top goal will be to strengthen our vital Strategic Partnership even further. Bulgaria is an extraordinary country with a glorious past and a magnificent future. My family looks forward to our arrival later this year - and to making many new friends, he said.
