By official invitation from The Royal Institute of International Affairs (Chatham House) in London, and Alsharq Forum, Hemin Hawrami, the Head of Kurdistan Democratic Party’s Foreign Relations Office, participated at a one-day event entitled ‘Europe’s Changing Neighbourhood: Conflict Prevention and Crisis Management in the 21st Century’ where attendees explored the external perceptions of Europe and assessed the nature of current crisis and threats to the region.
The changing crisis environment in which Europe finds itself has raised urgent questions about Europe’s role in the world. With turbulent peripheries in both its east and south, combined with an increasingly introverted domestic debate, internal challenges and a complicated set of external dynamics, Europe finds itself arguably in its most complex international environment in over a generation
The forum was attended by over a hundred figures and academics, politicians, journalists and diplomats where they discussed many of the issues that concerned with Europe and its relations with neighbouring countries and their effects on the world.
During the conference, many of the issues that concerned Europe and its relations with neighbouring countries and their effects on the world, as well as the problems of the Middle East and the war against terrorism and the problem of refugees and its impact on Europe where discussed.
Mr Hawrami met with a number of delegates where he spoke about the current developments in the Kurdistan region including the latest military progress.
