Todayโs first lesson in diplomacy was a breakfast talk by @RLeighTurner to present his new book, kindly organised by @LondnDIPLOMAT at the splendid Kensington Hotel.
From hitchhiking to wild boars and Leberkas Pepi - the book isnโt short of thrills and a great read ๐ ๐๐ผ ๐ฅ

Many thanks indeed to @martinwolf_, @gideonrachman, @katie_martin_fx & @robertshrimsley
Today, DPAAL members had the privilege of visiting the @FT for lunch with Chief Economics Commentator @martinwolf_. They also met Katie Martin, Robert Shrimsley, and Gideon Rachman.
Great discussions centered on foreign policy and current economic trends!

Last night I had the honour to act as an adjudicator for the Bothmer-Haworth German Declamation Prize at Eton College!
I had a hard time deciding on who to award with the prize because all of the students had impressive knowledge of German. Thanks a lot & weiter so ๐๐ป
Austrian Federal President Van der Bellen @vanderbellen:
We have a perpetual responsibility to take firm and decisive action against all forms of antisemitism.
Together with my Ukrainian friend @DmytroKuleba, I explain in an Op-Ed for the Austrian daily @DiePressecom why Austria's military neutrality does not mean indifference. We continue to #StandWithUkraine as long as it takes.

It was great to chat with colleagues from the diplomatic community and climate scientists at the Countdown to COP28 event earlier this week @NHM_London@Grantham_IC@EUdelegationUK
Between fun and cringe, having binge watched โThe Diplomatโ over the last bank holiday, I look forward to season II and hope itโs equally exciting ๐ค
