Peter Hans

protocol-strict diplomatic procedural composed dutiful reserved poised unobtrusive

Peter Hans stands as Sweden's Ambassador to the United States, locked into the second slot of President Bartlet's credential acceptance sequence after Thailand's Sumatra. C.J. dispatches his name with crisp authority in the briefing room, enforcing arrival-order protocol amid a lineup cresting toward Argentina's Renee Ernesto, Burkina Faso's Noah Jolla, and the tardy British envoy. This ritual invocation cements Hans within the White House's unyielding diplomatic machinery, where precedence hinges on chronology and global envoys queue for formal recognition amid mounting press scrutiny.
