Anwar Bakht Choudhury (আনোয়ার বখত চৌধুরী; born 15 June 1959) is a British diplomat of Bangladeshi origin.
Choudhury was born on 15 June 1959, to a Bengali Muslim family in East Pakistan (now Bangladesh).
His family is originally from the village of Prabhakarpur, Patli Union, Jagannathpur, Sunamganj, and moved to the United Kingdom when he was young.
Choudhury followed an unusual route into the Diplomatic Service; in 1985, he attained a BSc in Electrical and Electronic Engineering from the University of Salford.
He worked at Siemens Plessey, before entering the Civil Service as an engineering strategist with the Royal Air Force.
In 1995, he graduated with a Master of Business Administration from Durham University.
Choudhury was promoted through the Ministry of Defence until 2000, when he was recruited by the Cabinet Office, before being headhunted for the position of High Commissioner to Bangladesh.
When he was appointed as High Commissioner to Bangladesh in 2004, he became one of the first two British ambassadors from ethnic minority backgrounds to be appointed in modern times (the other being Alp Mehmet, who was appointed Ambassador to Iceland).
On 21 May 2004, Choudhury was targeted in a failed grenade attack, in which he was wounded and two bystanders were killed.
The attempted assassination came as he was leaving the Dargah-e-Shah Jalal mosque in Sylhet Division, his home province, following Jumu'ah (Friday prayers).
In December 2008, three attackers were sentenced to death
and two others to life in prison for the attack.
He was Governor of the Cayman Islands until he was recalled in June 2018 after less than three months in post.
Prior to that, he was British Ambassador to Peru, Director of International Institutions at the Foreign & Commonwealth Office and High Commissioner to Bangladesh.
He was sworn in as Governor of the Cayman Islands on 26 March 2018.
Choudhury was recalled to London in June 2018 for multiple allegations of misconduct.
On 20 September 2018 it was announced that he would not be returning to the Cayman Islands.
