She will talk to CWN about the pros and cons of representing British business abroad and what it’s like to live and work in Ulan Bator and other far flung capital cities. Thorda is currently between foreign appointments and we are fortunate to have her up to the minute insights into the testing world of diplomacy. She started her diplomatic career in 1974 and her overseas appointments have included Belgrade, Kiev, Bonn, and Paris. She has also worked in UK Representation in the European Union. She is a life member of the National Art Collections Fund. We are delighted to host this event in the National Liberal Club in Whitehall.
