The ongoing geopolitical tension in our region, further intensified by the recent hostilities between Israel and Iran, has prompted us to reflect on the essence of peace in our modern era and the responsibilities that we all share, both as business leaders and, primarily, as human beings. To delve deeper into such a complex topic, we invited the honorary Ambassador Alexandros P. Mallias, a seasoned diplomat, to be our igniter on our last before the summer break Over A Glass of Wine event that took place on the 18th of June in our ClubHouse. Through an eloquent presentation and a vibrant subsequent discussion, Mr Mallias helped us contemplate the topic of “Might makes right? Diplomacy in Uncharted Waters”, reflecting on humanity’s efforts to secure, sometimes “impose”, and hopefully sustain peace.
