This is a busy week for the RCS. We have former South African State President FW De Klerk here and, amidst growing calls for the international community to intervene in Sri Lanka, a discussion of what global actors should be doing. These events are both fully booked but audio recordings will be available online shortly afterwards. Other events, including a wine tasting dinner with one of Australia's leading winemakers, are open for booking in the usual ways. Public Affairs Team |
