Join Hudson Institute for a conversation with United Kingdom Ambassador to the United States Dame Karen Pierce DCMG on how the global pandemic is shaping a new approach to the country's development assistance and the opportunities it could create for cooperation with the United States.
As U.K. Prime Minister Boris Johnson recently told parliament: "One cardinal lesson of the pandemic is that distinctions between diplomacy and overseas development are artificial and outdated." Merging the British diplomatic arm with its development arm into a single organization better reflects the transition to a new geopolitical reality from "a relatively benign era when China’s economy was still much smaller than Italy’s and the west was buoyed by victory in the cold war."
Ambassador Pierce will explain the significance of this merger and how it can be leveraged to boost the U.S.-U.K. relationship while countering problematic and deceptive practices like China's Belt and Road Initiative. Hudson Fellow Blaise Misztal will moderate the conversation.
Join Senior Fellow Michael Doran for a candid conversation with H.E. Narek Mkrtchyan, ambassador of the Republic of Armenia to the United States of America, as they discuss the developments, challenges, and opportunities defining the US-Armenia relationship.
Please join Hudson Institute’s China Center as Miles Yu hosts a panel with key members of Taiwan’s Legislative Yuan and the Democratic Progressive Party to examine Taiwan’s mobilization efforts against the CCP’s increasing threats.
Join Hudson Institute Senior Fellow Robert McDowell for a discussion of the book and communications law with the authors, Harold Furchtgott-Roth, Kirk Arner, and Arielle Roth.
