Warwick University Societies in conversation with the UK’s former Ambassador to the United Nations

Warwick International Relations Society, Warwick MUN Society and Warwick Economics Society are delighted and honoured to present Sir Mark Lyall Grant, one of the UK’s most distinguished diplomats and a prominent expert in international affairs. As the UK’s former Ambassador to the United Nations and National Security Adviser, his experience and knowledge in international security are unparalleled. It will surely be an incredible talk given the tense mood in global affairs amidst Trump, Brexit, the North Korea Crisis and Middle Eastern tensions.
