Dinner Briefing: Engaging with the Enemy
As the newly elected 44th president of the US, Obama has the eyes and hopes of the world upon him. From the outset, Obama has made it clear that he would like to begin a dialogue with some of the more controversial world leaders, and that talking to enemies as well as friends is high on his agenda. But however good Obama’s intentions are about engaging with the enemy, what will be the terms and conditions that these countries will demand of Obama? In the second of our highly popular dinner briefing strand, this off-the-record background briefing will be followed by a 3-course dinner plus wine. Chaired by Stephen Sackur (BBC) H.E Dr. Sami Khiyami (Syrian Ambassador) Alastair Crooke (Conflicts Forum) Kasra Naji (author) Aidan Foster-Carter (Leeds University).
