NEW YORK -- Richard N. Haass, director of policy planning at the State Department, will become president of the Council on Foreign Relations, the private research group announced Thursday.
Haass, 51, will take over July 1 from Leslie H. Gelb, who has served on the council for 10 years, Council Chairman Peter G. Peterson said in a statement.
"It is a great honor to help lead the premier foreign policy organization, not just in the United States, but in the world," Haass said.
As a principal foreign policy adviser to Secretary of State Colin L. Powell, Haass was the lead government official on the Northern Ireland peace process and served as U.S. coordinator for policy toward the future of Afghanistan.
Gelb, a former State Department and Pentagon official, will become president emeritus of the New York-based council and will pursue independent writing and research as a council board fellow.
The Council publishes a journal, Foreign Affairs.
