Breakfast with Singapore Ambassador-at-Large
Asia continues to rise and its growing influence on the global stage remains unabated. Yet beneath the veneer of impressive economic growth are simmering risks. Territorial disputes remain unresolved. Nationalistic sentiments are on the rise. The problem of inequality and disparity continue to exacerbate.
Join us for a selective, insightful breakfast discussion with veteran Singaporean diplomat, Ambassador-at-Large Chan Heng Chee, as she assesses both the opportunities and threats for Asia going forward. Ambassador Chan was Singapore’s Ambassador to the US from July 1996 to July 2012, the second-longest-serving ambassador in Washington, and the first female ambassador to the US from an Asian country.
