United Kingdom’s envoy to Malaysia, Ailsa Terry will join PM Keir Starmer’s office as the Prime Minister’s Private Secretary for Foreign Affairs, a press release stated.

Terry will be entrusted to advise Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer on foreign policy issues. She will work closely with the UK’s Foreign Commonwealth & Development Office in London.

The envoy has expressed her honour to serve in the Prime Minister’s Office, the press release stated. She also highlighted her mission’s accomplishments in strengthening the UK-Malaysia partnership in areas of trade, technology, education, climate, defence, and security.

She moves on from her role as British High Commissioner to Malaysia within a year of taking office. David Wallace, the Deputy High Commissioner to Malaysia, will take over as Chargé d’Affaires from 29 August.

On her move, Terry says, “This is a huge privilege. Prime Minister Keir Starmer has set out ambitious plans for the country. I am honoured to be given this opportunity to serve in the Prime Minister’s Office. Since I started as the British High Commissioner to Malaysia in August 2023, my team here and I have accomplished so much in strengthening the UK-Malaysia’s partnership in the areas of trade, technology, education, climate, defence and security. I have visited many states and my family and I have also made so many friends around Malaysia. We will miss the people, sights and sound, smell and flavours of Malaysia.”

From August 29, David Wallace, who has been the deputy high commissioner since 2022, will take over as chargé d’affaires.

She said in her 12 months in Malaysia, her team had accomplished much in strengthening the UK’s partnership with Malaysia in the areas of trade, technology, education, climate, defence and security.

During a recent row over medical specialists, Terry said the British General Medical Council recognised all qualifications from the royal colleges in the UK, confirming that Malaysian parallel pathway cardiothoracic specialists can apply for registration as specialists. She was also appointed patron of the regional board of the Chartered Management Institute.
