Heads of Mission and diplomats from over 20 countries attended an Ambassadors Breakfast event hosted by Diplomat magazine in the magnificent surroundings of the Shangri-La Hotel, at The Shard on Tuesday 27th September 2016. Held in association with the Ambassador Partnership LLP, the guest speaker was Ambassador Sergey Batsanov, a former Russian diplomat who devoted much of his career to arms control, disarmament and international security issues, who spoke on the topic ‘East/West Relations: a Challenging Agenda.’ The event took place in the Li Room on 34th floor of the hotel, with spectacular views of the River Thames, St Paul’s Cathedral and Westminster.

Ambassador Batsanov is a retired Russian diplomat and international official. He is the director of the Geneva office of Pugwash International, a Senior Adviser to the UN Inter-regional Institute for Crime and Justice Research (UNICRI) and a Partner with The Ambassador Partnership LLP. He tackled tricky questions from diplomats around the world with aplomb. Shangri-La offered an Asian breakfast including various dim-sum options that proved to be highly popular with attendees, who were also amazed by the spectacular views of London.
