Aneurin Hughes
Aneurin Rhys "Nye" Hughes (11 February 1937 โ 27 March 2020) from 1995 to 2002.
Hughes was born in
British High Commissioner to Singapore from 1968 to 1970, and then first secretary to the Ambassador to Italy from 1972 to 1973.[6]
In 1973, Hughes joined the
European Commissioner for Employment, Social Affairs and Inclusion. He was then EU Ambassador to Norway and Iceland from 1987 to 1995, and EU Ambassador to Australia and New Zealand from 1995 to 2002.[6] To coincide with the 2003 Rugby World Cup, the Government of the Australian Capital Territory appointed him as a liaison officer for visiting European businesspeople.[7] In 2005, Hughes published a biography of Billy Hughes (no relation), the seventh Prime Minister of Australia and a fellow Welshman. John Button, writing for Eureka Street, called it "a thought-provoking account of an extraordinary figure about whom we now know a great deal more than before".[8]
